A person says, "I was dreaming about snow skiing down a huge mountain when I woke up this morning.". Which rationale correctly explains the comment?

a. Sleep architecture changes during the sleep period, resulting in increased slow-wave sleep at the end of the cycle.
b. Cycles of rapid-eye-movement sleep increase in the second half of sleep and occupy longer periods.
c. Dreams occur more frequently when a person is experiencing unresolved conflicts or depression.
d. Dream content relates directly to developmental tasks. The person is likely feeling autonomous.

Cycles of rapid-eye-movement sleep increase in the second half of sleep and occupy longer periods, up to 1 hour. The question relates to sleep architecture rather than dream content.
