Solution

The answer is stage 4 sleep.

Explanation for each option:

Stage 2: This stage is characterized by light sleep, where the body begins to prepare for deep sleep. Sleep walking and sleep talking are less likely to occur during this stage.
Stage 3: This is a deeper sleep stage, but it is not the primary stage associated with sleep walking and sleep talking.
REM (Rapid Eye Movement): This stage is associated with vivid dreaming and brain activity similar to wakefulness. Sleep walking and sleep talking are not typically associated with REM sleep.
Stage 4: This is the deepest stage of non-REM sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep. Sleep walking (somnambulism) and sleep talking (somniloquy) are most likely to occur during this stage.

In summary, sleep walking and sleep talking are most likely to occur during stage 4 sleep.
