Answer 2

C. skeletal muscle; cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and organs

Step-by-step explanation:

• The somatic nervous system has voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles, whereas the autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling involuntary body functions, such as heartbeat, blood flow, breathing, and digestion.

• Skeletal muscle system (SNS) regulating voluntary skeletal muscle contraction and autonomous nervous system ( ANS) regulating involuntary control of smooth, cardiac muscles and glands.
