The term for changes in the internal or external environment that cause a response is stimuli. To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the other given options (responses, signals, messages, and nerves) by understanding their definitions and determining that they do not accurately describe the concept of changes in the environment causing a response. Out of the four options, stimuli is the most appropriate term because it refers to the specific changes or events that trigger a response in an organism.
