A
somatic
B
autonomic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The peripheral nervous system is divided into two main parts: Autonomic nervous system (ANS): Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. Somatic nervous system (SNS): Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The organs that are not controlled by the autonomic nervous system are the skeletal muscles. Unlike the organs of the autonomic nervous system, such as the heart, kidneys, and liver, the skeletal muscles are under conscious control.

Detailed explanation-3: -The part of the peripheral nervous system that control involuntary movement is the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system is part of the motor nervous system and is made of motor neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -The autonomic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system that regulates involuntary physiologic processes including heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, digestion, and sexual arousal. It contains three anatomically distinct divisions: sympathetic, parasympathetic, and enteric.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parasympathetic nervous system: This part of the autonomic nervous system helps maintain normal body functions and conserves physical resources. This division also performs such tasks as controlling the bladder, slowing heart rate, and constricting eye pupils.
