The correct answer is d) Hedonic scaling.
Hedonic scaling is a sensory evaluation method where panelists assess their level of liking or preference for different samples, typically by rating them on a scale (e.g., from 1 to 9). This method focuses on the pleasure or appeal of the samples to the tasters, making it distinct from methods like the triangle test or ranking test, which are more about discrimination or comparison rather than subjective enjoyment.
