Final answer:
The symptom that is NOT indicative of the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response is constriction of the pupil, as the response typically involves pupil dilation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question revolves around identifying symptoms that are not part of the autonomic dysfunction, specifically in the context of the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response. Autonomic dysfunction is associated with improper regulation of autonomic nervous system responses. A symptom that is NOT a characteristic of the sympathetic nervous system's fight-or-flight response is constriction of the pupil (c), which is essentially a parasympathetic response.
The fight-or-flight response commonly includes pupil dilation to allow more light into the eyes, increasing the field of vision and alertness. Other typical sympathetic responses, which are not listed as options here but are characteristic of the fight-or-flight syndrome, include vasodilation of blood vessels that supply the muscles, increased heart rate, piloerection (goosebumps) due to the stimulation of arrector pili muscles, and increased sweating to help cool the body.
