Option A "To see or sense" directly aligns with this common - usage definition in the realm of natural science (physics, when dealing with waves and perception). Option B "To bend a wave" is refraction, Option C "Cannot be seen by human eyes" is about invisibility, and Option D is about a property of glass (refraction) rather than the meaning of "detect".
