The absolute threshold is the concept that describes the lowest level of stimulus such as sound, light, or touch that an organism can detect if it experiences the stimulus in its environment. Of these examples when D.) Juanita barely detects someone tapping her window pane, this noise that has alerted Juanita would be considered the absolute threshold.

The absolute threshold is the minimum level of stimulus that can be detected. In this case, option D , where Juanita barely detects someone tapping on her window pane, is the correct example of the absolute threshold.
