Solution

The correct option is B
Somatic system

The somatic system is the part of the peripheral nervous system responsible for carrying motor and sensory information both to and from the central nervous system. The system is responsible for nearly all voluntary muscle movements as well as for processing sensory information that arrives via external stimuli including hearing, touch, and sight.
