Solution

The correct option is C Both (A) and (B)
  • The autonomic nervous system consists of a somatic afferent pathway, a central nervous system integrating complex (brain and spinal cord), and two efferent limbs, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Hence, Efferent and Afferent pathways are functions of the autonomic nervous system.
So, the correct answer is 'Both (A) and (B)'.
