Neural activity interprets incoming stimuli, which activate the brain to send signals to the senses.

The senses send a signal to the brain to initiate specific neural activity, which then responds to incoming stimuli.

Stimuli is detected through senses, which activate specific neural activity that signals the brain for interpretation.

The brain detects incoming stimuli that activates neural activity, which signals the senses to interpret the stimuli.

Explanation

The perceptual process begins when the senses detect a stimulus. That detection activates neural activity, which carries information to the brain for interpretation. Choice C describes this sequence: stimuli are detected through the senses, neural activity is activated, and the brain interprets the information.
