Answer:

Option D, respond selectively to objects.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inferior temporal cortex is very essential for visual processing beyond the processing done by primary visual cortex. Any issues with the inferior temporal cortex could lead to visual impairment.

IT neurons are selective is respect to dimension, shape, color, or texture and stimuli and hence they respond selectively to different stimuli, faces, highly specific complex objects.

Being highly selective, some of IT neurons respond only to the frontal face view and the remaining respond to the profiles. Because of this, these cells fail in responding to similar objects

Hence, option D is correct
