The correct answer is option d. "Perception is determined by a complex interplay between bottom-up and top-down influences".

Explanation:

Perception is defined as the ability to being aware of an external or internal stimuli. Perception is a complex process and it is determined by a complex interplay between bottom-up and top-down influences. Bottom-up influences refer to any stimuli that is processed by the brain as it is coming in. On the other hand, top-down influences are stimuli driven by cognition and are the result of the brain filling the blanks of an incomplete information.
