The sympathetic nervous system mobilizes the body in response to stress, while the parasympathetic nervous system controls the activities of the visceral organs under normal conditions. Choice A reverses the roles of the two systems. Choice C compares two subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system, rather than different systems. Choice D is not accurate, as the autonomic nervous system is a subdivision of the peripheral nervous system. Choice E pairs the sympathetic nervous system with the peripheral nervous system, which is incorrect as the peripheral nervous system includes both the somatic and autonomic divisions.
