A
Sympathetic
B
Parasympathetic
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The parasympathetic part of your autonomic nervous system balances your sympathetic nervous system. While your sympathetic nervous system controls your body’s “fight or flight” response, your parasympathetic nervous system helps to control your body’s response during times of rest.

Detailed explanation-2: -The parasympathetic nervous system, also known as “rest and digest, ‘’ can be thought of as functioning in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system. Its functions include: A decrease in heart rate and contractility of cardiac muscle. Constriction of the ciliary muscle and the pupil for near vision.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ANS regulates the internal organs to maintain homeostasis or to prepare the body for action. The sympathetic branch of the ANS is responsible for stimulating the fight or flight response. The parasympathetic branch has the opposite effect and helps regulate the body at rest.
