Answer:

The answer is: letter c, in object recognition, the goal is recognizing the proximal stimulus.

Explanation:

Letter c is a "false" statement about object recognition because the goal is recognizing the distal stimulus and "not the proximal stimulus."

Distal stimulus refers to an event or an object in the world that provides information to the proximal stimulus. The proximal stimulus is a pattern of these events and objects that reaches to your senses. They can be registered in the person via "sensory receptors."

We need to recognize the distal stimulus and not the proximal stimulus. For example, when a lemon (distal stimulus) is being cut, it brings out a fragrance (proximal stimulus) that goes to the person's sense of smell. This gives the person a hint on where the smell is coming from and what it is. Then, the person recognizes that it is a lemon.
