Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
During rest,the mind remains active and conscious; sleep is characterized by altered consciousness.Sleep is a cyclic state of decreased motor activity and perception.A sleeping person is unaware of the environment and does respond selectively to certain external stimuli.However,at rest,the body is disturbed by all external stimuli; sleep restores the body more than does rest.The metabolism decreases more during sleep than during rest.
