D: Hunger is an inborn response while appetite is a learned response

Hunger is the physical need for food, typically accompanied by specific physical symptoms like an empty feeling in the stomach or lightheadedness. Appetite, on the other hand, is the psychological desire for food, often triggered by sensory cues like the sight or smell of food. Appetite can be influenced by various factors including past experiences, cultural influences, and social settings.
