Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A person who is sleepwalking is likely in the stage of deep sleep known as N3 or slow wave sleep. This stage is characterized by delta waves, which have a frequency of less than 4 Hz and high amplitude on an EEG record.

Therefore, the answer should be C, evidence of deep sleep (N3).
