Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct logical order of the states based on consciousness levels and physiological activity is: 1. Conscious state (C) – the normal awake condition. 2. Dreaming state (A) – typically during REM sleep, where mental activity continues. 3. Sleeping state (B) – a deeper unconsciousness than dreaming. 4. Comatose state (D) – significantly reduced consciousness, pathological. 5. Death state (E) – complete and irreversible cessation of all vital functions. This sequence progresses from the most conscious state to the complete absence of consciousness and life.
