Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Night terrors typically occur during N3 sleep, which is also known as non-rapid eye movement (NREM) stage 3 sleep or deep sleep. During this stage, the sleeper is difficult to rouse and may experience night terrors, which are often accompanied by screaming, panic, and intense fear. Unlike nightmares, which occur during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and are often vividly recalled, people who experience night terrors often have no memory of the event the next morning.
