Solution

The correct option is B Sympathetic system
Sympathetic system is a part of the autonomic nervous system. It generally inhibits the activity of the gastrointestinal tract such as inhibition of gastrointestinal secretion, motor activity, contraction of gastrointestinal sphincters and blood vessels.

The parasympathetic system is a part of the autonomic nervous system. It primarily stimulates the body’s “rest and digest” response such as enhancing the activity of most gastrointestinal functions.

The central nervous system helps in learning and voluntary control of movement.
