Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Well-practiced meditators showed neural activity that was anatomically more distant but still rhythmical, indicating they were more efficient and able to activate neural networks more easily across a wider range of brain regions. This is a key difference from beginner meditators who tend to show more local and concentrated brain activity.
