The right option is; B. the peripheral nervous system

The peripheral nervous system is comprised of the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the part of the nervous system that is composed of nerves and ganglia that are located outside of the central nervous system (CNS). The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The major function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the organs, limbs and skin. It transmit neural signals from the brain and spinal cord (CNS) to the body and from the body to the CNS.
