The correct option is B

Autonomic nervous system


The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a division of the peripheral nervous system that is entirely motor (a nerve carrying impulses from the brain or spinal cord to a muscle or gland) responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes.
