Gustation refers to the sense of taste. It is the ability to perceive different flavors through the taste buds on the tongue. This allows us to distinguish between sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami (savory) sensations. Smell is not the correct option because it refers to the olfactory sense, which is the ability to perceive different odors through the nose. Hearing is not the correct option because it refers to the auditory sense, which is the ability to perceive sound waves through the ears. Tactile is not the correct option because it refers to the sense of touch, which allows us to perceive physical sensations through the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4 - Taste.
