In this scenario, the correct term to describe Rosa's ability to detect Duke's call when he is 15 feet away is absolute threshold. The absolute threshold refers to the minimum level of stimulus intensity that an organism can detect 50% of the time. In this case, it pertains to the minimum distance or sound level at which Rosa can perceive Duke's call.
