Answer:d) difference threshold, or just noticeable difference

Explanation:The difference threshold, which is also referred to as the just noticeable difference (jnd), is the least difference that we are able to detect half the time. Half of the time you will be able to notice this slight difference in salt and this doesn't happen 100%of the time because it just a slight difference .
