D
None of the above
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 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-3: -Skeletal muscle contraction is voluntary and under the regulation of the somatic nervous system. Each skeletal muscle cell is innervated by a motoneuron, and each muscle fiber behaves as a single unit. Smooth muscle, on the other hand, is involuntary and under the regulation of the autonomic nervous system.

Detailed explanation-4: -This job falls under the somatic nervous system. Movement: Your peripheral nerves deliver command signals to all the muscles in your body that you can consciously control. This job also falls under the somatic nervous system.
