Answer:

The correct answer is: our awareness of ourselves and our environment

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "consciousness" refers to the subjective experience derived from being awake and aware of one's self and one's surroundings. It might be thought as the experience of everything; the perception of something by someone (a conscious being).

The origin of consciousness remains a mystery to modern science. Historically, scientists have attributed the existence of consciousness to the functioning of the brain, but some other beliefs - including buddhist traditions - argue that consciousness is not a by-product of the brain, rather it acts as an observer of the brain and its thoughts.
