Subdivision of the PNS that controls voluntary activities such as activation of skeletal muscles.
A
Autonomic Nervous System
B
CNS
C
PNS
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: -Answer and Explanation: The somatic nervous system subdivision of the peripheral nervous system controls voluntary motor activity. The somatic nervous system (SNS) is the part of the peripheral nervous system which innervates the skeletal muscles. It controls the voluntary motor activity and body reflexes.

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: -Your somatic nervous system is a subdivision of your peripheral nervous system, which is all of your nervous system except your brain and spinal cord. Your somatic nervous system allows you to move and control muscles throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
