A
accommodation
B
sensory adaptation
C
transduction
D
parallel processing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transduction: the conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, this is the transformation of sights, sounds, and smells into neural impulses our brain can interpret. Wavelength: the distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the next peak.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Conversion of the energy forms of stimuli into electrical energy by the receptors is known as sensory transduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The conversion from sensory stimulus energy to action potential is known as transduction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transduction is the transformation of stimulus energy (sights, sounds, smells) into neural impulses our brains can interpret.

Detailed explanation-5: -Although the sensory systems associated with these senses are very different, all share a common function: to convert a stimulus (such as light, or sound, or the position of the body) into an electrical signal in the nervous system. This process is called sensory transduction.
