Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The activation-synthesis model of dreaming proposes that dreams are the result of the brain's attempt to make sense of random neural activity that occurs during sleep. This theory suggests that dreams themselves do not have inherent meaning but are rather the brain's way of interpreting and synthesizing this random activity into a coherent narrative.
