    B. argued that consciousness was like a flowing stream, serving to adapt people to their environments.

    Explanation:

    William James chose the word 'stream' because he believed that our consciousness is developed through the constant flow of thought that we got by observing the environment around us. It's similar to water that constantly flows to fill a body of the river.

    When we are placed in a certain environment, our mind will start to collect data based on the things that we interpret with our senses. This data will serve as a flow of information that streamed into our brain. Collectively, they will serve as pieces of puzzles that construct our perception of reality
