Essentially, it is a psychological state in which the self becomes the focus of attention.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following BEST describes consciousness? we are conscious of our inner thinking and what is happening in our external environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Self-consciousness can be defined for an individual as the awareness of his/her own body in a time-space continuum and its interactions with the environment – including others. It also encompasses the awareness that the individual has of his/her own identity, built over time in interaction with others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conscious awareness is a twofold state of being, in which the mind is both awake as well as cognizant of its surroundings.
