Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A stimulus is any physical event or object that is able to arouse a sensory response in an organism. In this case, a stimulus is the physical information received through our senses. Option A (motivator) is incorrect because a motivator is a psychological factor that arouses and directs behavior towards a specific goal. Option B (selective perception) is incorrect because it refers to the tendency of individuals to selectively interpret what they see based on their interests, background, experience, and attitudes. Option C (attitude) is incorrect because it is a learned predisposition to respond to people or things in a positive, negative or mixed way. Option E (habit) is incorrect because it is a recurrent, often unconscious, pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.
