The statement which is true is 3: adaptation is complete after five minutes of exposure to the stimulus.

What this means is that from the point when the tongue receives the stimulus, its sensation towards that stimulus begins to depreciate and in about five minutes, it is as is the stimulant is no longer present. This phenomenon is called adaptation.

Gustatory receptors are usually found on the tongue. They are responsible for the ability to detect and differentiate between one taste or flavor and another through a process called chemosensation.
