If one trains a distributed model to respond to a blue light and then presents it with a blue-green light, it responds to the blue-green light because:
A) both lights activate the same input nodes.
B) the weights from the input nodes to the internal representation layer are fixed.
C) both lights activate some of the same nodes in the internal representation layer.
D) the blue-green input node activates the blue input node.

The model responds to the blue-green light because both the blue and blue-green lights activate some of the same nodes in the internal representation layer. This shared activation is due to the similarity between the two stimuli, allowing the model to generalize its response from the blue light to the blue-green light.
