Answer: REM

Explanation:

There are four stages, 3 of them are non-REM stages, (or NREM) and obviously, the other is the REM stage.

We are looking for a stage where your body becomes "paralyzed".

This would be the REM sleep stage.

This is the stage where most of your dreams happen, and that is why your body is more-or-less paralyzed, so you do not move while dreaming.

There are other characteristics, like irregular (and faster) breathing and an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

B) sympathetic and parasympathetic

Explanation:

e autonomic nervous system also called the vegetative nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system which inervates  smooth muscle and glands. Thus, it directly affects the function of internal organs and  regulates  functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate,  urination etc. This nervous system control is  unconscious.

Parasympathetic nervous system works when organism is at rest so it is known as system responsible for "rest and digest functions". On the other hand, sympathetic nervous system works at active and stressful situations and it is known as "fight and flight" system.
