A)sympathetic
B)somatic
C)central
D)visceral
E)parasympathetic

Accepted Answer

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological response to stress that prepares the body to either fight or flee. This response is mediated by the sympathetic nervous system, which activates the release of adrenaline and other stress hormones. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movement, the central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, the visceral nervous system controls internal organs, and the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's rest and digest response.
