Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "fight or flight" response is a response to a stressful situation and is managed by the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the "rest and digest" response, which is the opposite of the "fight or flight" response. The somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory functions. Therefore, the best choice is C, the sympathetic nervous system.
