Explanation:

• The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion, not skeletal muscles.
• The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic system and is involved in the "fight - or - flight" response.
• The parasympathetic nervous system is also part of the autonomic system and is involved in the "rest - and - digest" response.
• The afferent (sensory) nervous system carries information to the central nervous system, not motor commands to muscles.
• The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements, which involves carrying impulses to skeletal muscles.

Answer:

somatic
