Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Habituation is evidence of learning and memory, in that a stimulus loses its novelty only if the infant remembers the stimulus from one presentation to the next.

If we refer to psychological terms, habituation means that when a stimulus is present, the answer to it diminishes when the stimulus is repeated again and again. It simpler terms, you become used to that stimulus that it is barely noticed. For instance, when you are about to go to sleep, and there is a party close to your home. At first, you notice the music but after some time, you get used to it and go to sleep with no problems at all.
