The correct option is A Facial
In Humans, the autonomic nervous system is composed of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). The centrally located central nervous system includes brain and spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system includes all cranial and spinal nerves. Specific nerves include several cranial nerves, specifically the oculomotor nerve, facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve and vagus nerve.
