A
An illusion is a misinterpreted sensory perception. A hallucination is a false sensory perception
occurring without a corresponding sensory stimulus. Feeling bugs on the body when none are
present is a tactile hallucination. Option B: Misinterpreting shadows as faces is an illusion. Options
C and D are examples of behaviors sometimes occurring during delirium that are related to
fluctuating levels of awareness and misinterpreted stimuli.
