A
central nervous system
B
peripheral
C
motor
D
sensory
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system consists of both afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) nerves [1].

Detailed explanation-2: -The PNS is made up of two divisions: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic system contains sensory and motor neurons. It sends and receives sensory information and motor signals.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central nervous system (CNS) and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body. These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle movements.
