d. memory reinforcement model
please select the best answer from the choices provided
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

The activation - synthesis model posits that dreams are the result of random neural activity in the brainstem during sleep. The brain then tries to make sense of this random neural input by synthesizing it into a dream. The wish - fulfillment model (A) is Freud's idea that dreams represent unconscious wishes. The problem - solving model (B) suggests dreams help with problem - solving. The memory - reinforcement model (D) claims dreams reinforce memories. So, the activation - synthesis model is the one that claims dreams are random by - products of brain processes during sleep.

Answer:

C. activation - synthesis model
