Solution

The correct option is B Peripheral nervous system
  • Peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the portion of the nervous system, that is outside the brain and spinal cord.
  • The nerves in the PNS connect the central nervous system (CNS) to sensory organs, such as the eye and ear and to other organs of the body, muscles, blood vessels and glands.
  • The peripheral nerves include the 12 cranial nerves, the spinal nerves and roots, and the autonomic nerves.
    Hence, option B is correct.
