Part of the peripheral that controls conscious activities
A
autonomic
B
somatic
C
sympathetic
D
parasympathetic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The somatic peripheral nervous system is a single neuron system with the motor neurons lying inside the brainstem or spinal cord and the sensory neurons lying in the dorsal root ganglia. The autonomic peripheral nervous system is a two neuron system with a neuron lying outside of the CNS in the autonomic ganglia.

Detailed explanation-2: -The peripheral nervous system is further subdivided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system consists of nerves that go to the skin and muscles and is involved in conscious activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Somatic Nervous System☆ Conscious control of movement originates in the motor cortex (both premotor and primary motor cortex). However, movement is refined and coordinated by various structures in the CNS, including extrapyramidal regions and the cerebellum.

Detailed explanation-4: -The somatic nervous system (SNS) plays an important role in initiating and controlling nearly all voluntary movements of the body. The SNS is a branch of the peripheral nervous system, along with the autonomic system (ANS), although they function in different ways.

Detailed explanation-5: -The somatic nervous system (SNS) is the voluntary nervous system, meaning we can choose to activate it. Its primary responsibility is the conscious control of skeletal muscle movements. The SNS also deals with some involuntary movements, such as reflexes.
