            $('a.toggle').mouseenter(function () {
                if ($(document).data("toggle-id")) {
                    //item was already selected, hide it
                    $("div.toggle#" + $(document).data("toggle-id")).hide(1);

See this modified code:

C#

$('a.toggle').mouseenter(function () {
               $(this).toggleClass('active');// Added this line
               if ($(document).data("toggle-id")) {
                   //item was already selected, hide it
                   $("div.toggle#" + $(document).data("toggle-id")).hide(1);
               }
               //save the new id for later, then show it
               $(document).data("toggle-id", $(this).text().toLowerCase());

               $("div.toggle#" + $(document).data("toggle-id")).slideToggle(1000);

           });
           //Added this event
           $('a.toggle').mouseout(function () {
               $(this).toggleClass('active'); 
           });
           //Added this event

Or if you want the class to be applied till the relevant div is active than

C#

$('a.toggle').mouseenter(function () {   
    $('a.toggle').removeClass("active");
    $(this).addClass('active');
    if ($(document).data("toggle-id")) {
        //item was already selected, hide it
        $("div.toggle#" + $(document).data("toggle-id")).hide(1);
    }
    //save the new id for later, then show it
    $(document).data("toggle-id", $(this).text().toLowerCase());

    $("div.toggle#" + $(document).data("toggle-id")).slideToggle(1000);
    
    //mouseout event is not required

});

Now add the class active in page:

XML

<style type="text/css">
   .active
   {
        color:Black;   
        font-size:large;
   }
</style>
