Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Vasomotor nerves are responsible for regulating the opening and closing of blood vessels through vasoconstriction and vasodilation. Asomatic and somatic nerves are not involved in this process, and vasopressin is a hormone that also affects blood vessel constriction but is not a nerve.
