___ refers to how we interpret and understand sensory info, whereas ___ refers to the stimulation from the environment and how it gets processed in the nervous system.

Question

In this question, we are distinguishing two core concepts of sensory processing: perception and sensation. 
Option 1: 'sensation;encoding' swaps the terms and also introduces 'encoding' which is not the standard label for how sensory input is initially processed in the nervous system; this makes the option inaccurate for both blanks. 
Option 2: 'sensation; perception' assigns sensation to the interpretive process and perception to the environmental stimuli, which is the reverse of the established definitions; perception is about interpretation, not about the raw stimulation itself. 
Option 3: 'perception; sensation' correctly assigns the first blank to perception, which is the interpretation and understanding of sensory information, and the second blank to sensation, which refers to the stimulation from the environment and how it begins to be processed by the nervous system. This aligns with standard psychological terminology where sensation is about detecting stimuli and initial neural processing, while perception is about making meaning of those sensations. 
Option 4: 'subluxation; sublimation' introduces terms from entirely different domains (medicine and psychology) that do not describe sensory processing pathways; thus this option is clearly irrelevant to the question. 
Overall, the reasoning shows that only the pairing in Option 3 accurately matches the definitions of perception and sensation, while the other options mislabel or misuse key concepts, leading to incorrect conclusions.
