Solution

The correct option is D Fails to taste a less salty thing just after the exposure
The tongue of a person is exposed to a high salty taste then the tongue fails to taste a less salty thing just after exposure. This happens because the taste receptors on the surface of the tongue get adapted to the salty taste.
Adaptation mainly occurs at cerebral cortex level.
