A) a state of waking consciousness

Explanation:

Consciousness: The term consciousness refers to an individual's awareness of memories, specified thoughts, sensations, feelings, and environment. The conscious experience can constantly change and shift.

Therefore, waking consciousness is defined as the consciousness condition that can be experienced by a person when the person is awake and aware of feelings, perceptions, and thoughts, of the surrounding environment and internal events.
