Answer:

a. parasympathetic stimulation to smooth muscle in the urinary bladder and reproductive organs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pelvic Splancnic nerves are referred to as Nervi erigentes and are meant to provide the parasympathetic innervation to the hindgut . They arise from the anterior rami of the sarcal nerves S2, S3, S4. Pathway is such that they innervate the pelvic and genital organs. ( therefore plays role in bladder emptying and erection of sexual organs) The parasympathtic nervous system is also called as the craniosarcal out flow , such that the pelvic splanchnic nerves are the sarcal component .
