Correct answer: D. Habituation

Explanation

A learned behavior in which an individual's response to stimuli decreases over time is called habituation. It is learning not to respond to some unimportant stimuli. It is an extremely simple form of learning, in which an animal, after a period of exposure to a stimulus, stops responding. Hence, D is the correct option.

About Coordination and Control

Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
