The correct answer would be option D, Consciousness has a hidden part that stays in contact with reality and feels pain while another part of consciousness feels no pain.

Explanation:

Hypnosis is a state in which a person loses his control over voluntary actions but is highly responsive to suggestions and directions. A person who is being hypnotized answers the questions which are stored in his memory back in times and is unable to revive it when in the natural state. Sometimes hypnosis is also used to make a person speak about the things which he doesn't say in the normal state. So it means his consciousness has a hidden part that stays in contact with reality and feels pain while another part feels no pain.
