Solution: Sense is a biological mechanism by which an organism can receive information about the environment and respond to the stimuli. 


  • Incense is an aromatic compound that emits a fragrant smoke.


  • The aroma of lit incense sticks first reaches the nostrils. 



  • Forebrain interprets this information as the smell of an incense stick, which is already stored in memory. 


  • This is how we can deduce that the scent is of incense sticks.
