Answer:

A situation where your sympathetic nervous system would be active would be when you are running because your heart rate would increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your sympathetic nervous system is in control of your heart rate, blood pressure, and blood vessels, so if you are running, your heart rate is speeding up, caused my this specific part of the nervous system.
