Answer:

The B. parasympathetic nervous system is the part of the autonomic nervous system that controls bodily functions when the body is at rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

This system is sometimes referred to as the "rest and digest" system. The system conserves its energy, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes many of the body's muscles while the body is at rest.
