Solution
The correct option is C Chewing Chewing is an action which person performs according to his/ her will and involves skeletal muscles which are voluntary. Therefore, chewing is a voluntary action.
Vomiting, salivation and heart beat are controlled by the autonomous nervous system and are therefore involuntary actions, that is, those which are not under the control of one's will.
