I really need help on this question! Any would be greatly appreciated:

Sensory adaptation occurs when the brain filters out repetitious and or insignificant information. A correct example of sensory adaptation is:
A. a fine "vintager" (wine taster) can differentiate the unique taste among various blended wines given to him to evaluate
B. A person who inadvertangly burns the tip of his or her tongue while drinking a hot drink can still consume cold beverages
C. a hog farmer does not notice the barn smell from his working boots as he leaves them on the proch of the house
D. a maitre'd (chef) can discriminate the armoa from prepared dishes as he uses exotic spices from around the world.

C is the answer since the farmer is used to the stench over a prolonged period of time.
