A
Afferent
B
Somatic
C
Efferent
D
Autonomic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system consists of both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerves [1]. It is also responsible for the reflex arc, which involves the use of interneurons to perform reflexive actions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system consists of everything else. The central nervous system’s responsibilities include receiving, processing, and responding to sensory information.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sympathetic Nervous System These convey afferent and efferent fibers between the CNS and the viscera. Cardiopulmonary splanchnic nerves carry the postsynaptic fibers destined for the thoracic cavity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Afferent neurons, also called sensory neurons, are the nerve fibers responsible for bringing sensory information from the outside world into the brain. Sensory information may involve special senses, such as vision, hearing, smell, or taste, as well as the sense of touch, pain, and temperature.

Detailed explanation-5: -The efferent nervous system is also called the motor nervous system because these neurons control the movement of the body. There are two main divisions of the efferent nervous system: The somatic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system.
