3. Beta waves, associated with alertness and focused attention, typically fall within the range of:

• A. 0.5-4 Hz
• B. 4-8 Hz
• C. 8-13 Hz
• D. 13-30 Hz

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Beta waves are neural oscillations in the brain that are associated with alertness, concentration, and active thinking. They typically fall within the frequency range of 13-30 Hz. This range is indicative of a person being awake, alert, and engaged in cognitive tasks requiring focus. Lower frequency ranges like 0.5-4 Hz (Delta waves) are associated with deep sleep and unconsciousness, while higher ranges like 8-13 Hz (Alpha waves) are linked to a relaxed and meditative state. Therefore, option D (13-30 Hz) is the correct range for beta waves, reflecting the brain's heightened activity during periods of attentiveness and concentration.
