Solution

The correct option is B Involuntary activites
  • The Peripheral Nervous System is divided into two systems: the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary actions such as breathing and digestion, and the somatic nervous system, which governs voluntary action and body reflexes.
  • The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal. Hence, Autonomic nervous system controls Involuntary activities.
So, the correct answer is 'Involuntary activities'.
