Understand the context: The problem is asking for the correct definition of an EEG feature, specifically focusing on the characteristics of different brain wave patterns.
Review the characteristics of each EEG feature mentioned: Beta waves, Sleep spindles, K complex, and Delta waves.
Recall that Beta waves are associated with active thinking and alertness, typically having a high frequency and low amplitude.
Remember that Sleep spindles are bursts of oscillatory brain activity visible on an EEG that occur during stage 2 of sleep, characterized by a frequency of 12-16 Hz and moderate amplitude.
Identify that Delta waves are associated with deep sleep and are characterized by having the lowest frequency and highest amplitude among the brain waves, which matches the correct answer choice.
