Answer:

Sensory adaptation

Step-by-step explanation:

Rebecca does not notice the smell of garlic in her house while making dinner for her guests. After Rebecca guests arrive at her house, they mention the smell of garlic because their nose picks out the smell while entering the house. The host Rebecca does not get the strong garlic smell because her noses get immune to it. This reaction of Rebecca is called sensory adaptation because her sensory receptors become exposed to stimuli for a lengthy period.
