Solution

The correct option is B Parasympathetic; Sympathetic
The parasympathetic nervous system decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous systems results in the construction of pupils. Decrease heart rate and blood pressure. And reverse goes for sympathetic.
So, the correct option is 'Parasympathetic, sympathetic'.
