Ans:
C, D

Feedback:

Sleep paralysis and hypnopompic hallucinations are symptoms of narcolepsy. Repeated toe, ankle, and leg movements are associated with periodic limb movement disorder, while an urge to move her legs would suggest restless legs syndrome. Narcolepsy is not normally associated with long sleep latency periods.
