Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
A sleep diary would be the best choice for early assessment of Ms.Ayres sleep and rest patterns as it involves recording her sleeping habits, such as the amount and quality of sleep, as well as any disturbances or disruptions during the night. The other options listed (electrooculogram, polysomnography, and electroencephalogram) may be used in a more comprehensive sleep study, but are not typically the first tool used for initial assessment.
