How could a researcher determine whether a given neuron in the visual cortex is simple or complex?

Question:

How could a researcher determine whether a given neuron in the visual cortex is simple or complex?

a. If it responds to a line or edge, it is a simple cell.

If it responds only to more complex shapes, it is a complex cell.

b. If it responds to moving stimuli, it is a simple cell.

If it responds to stationary objects, it is a complex cell.

c. If it responds to the same stimulus repeatedly, it is a simple cell. If it responds to a different stimulus each time it is tested, it is a complex cell.

d. If it responds to a stimulus in just one location, it is a simple cell. If it responds in several locations, it is a complex cell.
