Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the final exam, Vern's sympathetic nervous system would have been activated, causing him to feel nervous and releasing norepinephrine. After the exam, once he has calmed down, his parasympathetic nervous system can take over and release acetylcholine, allowing him to focus on functions such as protection and growth. Therefore, the best option is parasympathetic and acetylcholine, which is only found in choice B.
