Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The term "black box" in this context refers to the internal, mental processes of the buyer that are not visible or directly accessible to the salesperson, much like how a salesperson cannot literally read a buyer's mind to understand their thoughts, feelings, and decision-making processes.
