The best answer is letter B. meditation.

Explanation:

Meditation as a practice to focus one's attention involves what is described in the question - controlled breathing, assuming certain body positions, minimizing external stimuli.

Consciousness has several definitions, but can be summarized as the awareness of one's own internal and external existence. Dichotic listening happens when a person listens to a type of sound through one ear and another type of sound through the other, simultaneously. Cataplexy is the loss of muscle tone caused by strong emotions.
