Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "rest - and - digest" functions and works to lower heart rate after a stressor like a car accident. The sympathetic nervous system increases heart rate during stress. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary muscle movement, and the central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord which is not directly responsible for this immediate heart - rate reduction.

Answer:

The reduction of her heart rate to its normal level was due to the parasympathetic nervous system.
