In conjunction search:
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. The target/distractor difference is not based on a single feature, but on conjunctions of features
- B. Search time for the target is not constant, but instead rises with the number of distractors
- C. The observer apparently searches through the display serially, scanning each term or small group of items) successively (serial search)

Explanation
A conjunction search requires combining two or more features, so the target usually cannot be detected immediately and search time increases as distractors are added. This makes the search relatively serial, so all three descriptions apply.
