Surveys of human eating behavior suggest that even if individuals are certain that a food did not cause their illness, they are still likely to develop an aversion to the taste of that food.

Option C is irrelevant to the question of whether taste aversions develop in humans, and option D is incorrect because taste aversions can develop after just one exposure to an illness-producing food in humans.
