Autonomic Nervous System
B
Central Nervous System
C
Peripheral Nervous System
D
Somatic Nervous System
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of the body movements via the use of skeletal muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Your somatic nervous system allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body. It also feeds information from four of your senses-smell, sound, taste and touch-into your brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -The somatic nervous system, also called the somatomotor or somatic efferent nervous system, supplies motor impulses to the skeletal muscles. Because these nerves permit conscious control of the skeletal muscles, it is sometimes called the voluntary nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Different kinds of neurons send different signals. Motor neurons tell your muscles to move. Sensory neurons take information from your senses and send signals to your brain. Other types of neurons control the things your body does automatically, like breathing, shivering, having a regular heartbeat and digesting food.
