Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Hypnosis has been shown to alter patterns of brain activity, indicating changes in how the brain processes information during the state of hypnosis. This can involve changes in attention, perception, and possibly pain management, reflecting an altered state of consciousness rather than simply being asleep or under someone else's control.
