A
Beta Waves
B
Alpha Waves
C
Theta Waves
D
Delta Waves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The early portion of stage 1 sleep produces alpha waves, which are relatively low frequency (8–13Hz), high amplitude patterns of electrical activity (waves) that become synchronized. This pattern of brain wave activity resembles that of someone who is very relaxed, yet awake.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alpha brain waves are the main brain wave pattern that develops when a person becomes drowsy. View Source and transitions from wakefulness to sleep. They continue during the early phase of sleep until they are replaced by slower theta waves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Theta brain waves can also occur when you’re awake, but in a very deeply relaxed state of mind; a state that some may describe as “autopilot.” However, if you experience high levels of theta waves while you’re awake, you might feel a little sluggish or scattered.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alpha waves are typically found in people who are awake but have their eyes closed and are relaxing or meditating. Theta waves: have a frequency range from three to eight Hz and an amplitude of 50 to 100 µV. Theta waves are associated with memory, emotions, and activity in the limbic system.

Detailed explanation-5: -Alpha waves are seen in the electroencephalogram (EEG) during a normal wakeful state where the subject is quietly resting. Beta EEG are present when a person is alert/attentive and thinking actively.
