Detailed explanation-1: -In physiology, a stimulus is a detectable change in the physical or chemical structure of an organism’s internal or external environment. The ability of an organism or organ to detect external stimuli, so that an appropriate reaction can be made, is called sensitivity (excitability).
Detailed explanation-2: -A stimulus causes an action or response, like the ringing of your alarm clock if you didn’t sleep through it. Stimulus is a word often used in biology-something that causes a reaction in an organ or cell, for example.
Detailed explanation-3: -The ability of an organism to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. For example, Plants grow towards light(external stimuli) sources, and if the direction of light is changed, the plant will also change its direction of growth to accommodate for survival. So, the correct answer is ‘Sensitivity’.
Detailed explanation-4: -1) In classical conditioning, the conditional behavior (CR) is triggered by the particular stimulus (CS) and is therefore called an elicited behavior.
