Flatworms have simple nervous systems and are capable of detecting certain stimuli, primarily through light sensitivity and chemical cues. Among the options provided, a flatworm would be able to detect:
- **the smell of prey**
Flatworms can sense chemical signals in their environment, which helps them locate food sources. They are less capable of detecting light and are not known to respond to sound or the feel of changes in the environment to the extent that would affect their behavior.
