ASD which stands for Autism spectrum disorder, is a term which is utilized for a certain type of behavioral and developmental issues and problems that accompany them. 

The correct answer is option D. The apparent sensory deficits seen in some people with ASD referred to as "apparent" because there is no impairment in the sense organ, but the individual's response makes it appear otherwise. ASD, which stands for autism spectrum disorder, refers to a behavioral and developmental issues that affects the child's social and communication skills. There is not a specific cause of ASD and there is no medical cure for it, but with therapy some patients show a major improvement. The "apparent" sensory deficits that kids with ASD  show, are apparent because even though the response that the kid shows tells there is some degree of deficit, there is no impairment in the organ, the same way there is no cause for ASD.
