Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The refractory period refers to the time period after orgasm during which an individual is unable to experience another orgasm or sexual arousal. Therefore, option C is the correct choice as it describes a man experiencing an orgasm and being unable to experience another for at least 30 minutes, indicating the presence of a refractory period. Option A describes the refraction of light through a prism which is a different concept altogether. Option B describes the process of vasodilation and engorgement of blood into the penis during sexual arousal, but it does not relate to the concept of refractory period. Option D describes a woman experiencing multiple orgasms, which does not necessarily indicate the presence of a refractory period.
