Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for the body's "rest - and - digest" functions. It causes pupils to contract, heartbeat to slow, digestion to continue, and the bladder to contract, which are the functions listed in Part B. The sympathetic nervous system is the "fight - or - flight" response, and the central and somatic nervous systems have different functions not related to these autonomic functions.

Answer:

A. Parasympathetic nervous system
