ANSWER:

The correct option is C: Message centre of the body split into "central nervous system and peripheral nervous system".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The nervous system of the body is a collection of "nerves and specialised cells" called neurons which transmits signal between different parts of the body.
  • The "central nervous system" consists of the "spinal cord and brain" that control the body.
  • The "peripheral nervous system" consist of the autonomic and somatic nervous system. The "somatic nervous system" is the one that transfers motor signals and sensory signals to and from the "central nervous system".
