Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
The sympathetic system speeds up bodily processes in response to stressors, while the parasympathetic system slows down bodily processes and promotes relaxation. This relationship can be compared to the accelerator and brakes in a car – the sympathetic system is like pressing the gas pedal to accelerate, while the parasympathetic system is like pressing the brakes to slow down.
