Answer:

As we get older the number of taste buds decreases.

Explanation:

Gustatory cells or the taste buds contains the different sensory cells on the tongue. The papillae consists of all the taste receptors. The sweet, bitter, salty, umami and sour tastes are recognized by the receptors.

The different individuals have different taste because of the presence of the different taste buds. The number of the taste buds decreases the individual gets older. The children has more taste buds and can easily understand the taste of different things. Hence, Joshua dislikes the broccoli taste.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
