Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Active sleep in infants corresponds to rapid eye movement (REM) sleep in adults. During active sleep, the baby's eyes will move rapidly beneath their eyelids, and there may be some twitching or movement of their limbs. This is similar to the state of arousal and brain activity seen in adults during REM sleep. Choices A, B, and D are all incorrect because they do not correspond to the specific characteristics of active sleep.
