coronary blood vessels

kidney

sweat glands

check answer

Explanation:

Dual innervation means a target organ is innervated by both the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. The small intestine is innervated by both (parasympathetic from the vagus, sympathetic from thoracic/lumbar nerves). Coronary blood vessels, kidneys, and sweat glands are mainly innervated by the sympathetic division (or have minimal parasympathetic, not dual in the typical sense).

Answer:

A. small intestine
