The answer is: D) interpret sensory stimuli.
The final goal of the study of perception is to understand how we process the information that we acquire from our environment and interpret it to make a general opinion or perception.
Humans acquire that information by Using senses. Throughout the day, we constantly receive different forms of stimuli From out sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing. The stimuli then transferred to our brain in order to be processed.
For example, let's say that you touch a fire. In this scenario, fire is the stimuli. Your sense of touch will transfer the stimuli that you felt to your brain and your brain will process it. Since the fire would hurt you, the brain would interpret the fire as 'dangerous' and make you unlikely to touch it again in the future.
