Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Habituation is the process by which an individual becomes accustomed to a particular stimulus or environment through repeated exposure. In this case, the urban dweller is used to the urban environment's specific noises and stimuli, and the lack of these familiar stimuli in the rural area disrupts her sleep, indicating she has habituated to the urban environment.
