d. direct perception checking

D). Direct perception checking.

Explanation:

Perceptions are defined as the conscious understanding or vision that determines how the individuals perceive or apprehend anything(could be experience or reality) through their senses.

Checking perception implies to test or check how one understands or perceives a situation or occurrence that aids to offer clarity about the precision of the interpretation. Therefore, it assists in reaching a more effective and clear conclusion/interpretation as every individual carries his/her own opinions and preferences which are shaped by their 'perceptions' and leads to shaping their actions and behavior.

As per the question, asking questions to test one's perception implies 'direct perception checking' as it asks questions directly to check the accuracy of the interpretation that also aids to provide clarity. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
