the sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into two parts: the autonomic nervous system (which controls involuntary functions) and the somatic nervous system (which controls voluntary movements and sensory input from the body's senses). The central nervous system (CNS) is separate from the PNS, consisting of the brain and spinal cord. The sympathetic nervous system is a subdivision of the autonomic nervous system, not a separate part of the PNS alongside the autonomic system.

Answer:

B. the somatic nervous system
