In philosophy, a 'philosophical zombie' is defined as a being that behaves like a human but lacks conscious experience.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It has no physical brain
• D. It cannot behave like a human

Answer: (A)

The question hinges on the idea of a philosophical zombie: something that behaves like a person but lacks conscious experience. That definition makes the statement true, because a philosophical zombie is precisely described as producing human‑like behavior while not having subjective awareness. This thought experiment helps explore whether outward behavior alone proves consciousness and why some philosophers argue that physical processes might not guarantee phenomenal experience. It’s a hypothetical tool used in debates about mind and reality, not a claim about real beings. The other options don’t fit because they alter the core features: a zombie, by definition, would have brain-like functioning and can imitate human behavior, so saying it has no brain or cannot behave like a human contradicts the concept.
