Stacy Jackson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Research shows that during REM sleep, the body is virtually paralyzed and physical activity such as doing calisthenics is not possible. Additionally, research also confirms that dreaming does take place during REM sleep. Option D is not necessarily relevant to the statement as it is not impossible for someone to dream about something they have not experienced in real life.
