Answer:

a) parasympathetic innervation

Step-by-step explanation:

The parasympathetic system is characterized by having Acetilcoline(Ach) as neurotransmitter. It receptors are whether nicotinic receptors or muscarinic receptors.

When acetilcoline interacts with a muscarinic receptor in the nasopharingeal glands lead to secretion of mucus.
