Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) are the two main divisions of the nervous system. The PNS is made up of all the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, while the CNS includes the brain and spinal cord. Option A is incorrect because it only refers to parts of the CNS. Option B is incorrect because it refers to two branches of the PNS. Option D is incorrect because it refers to structures other than the nervous system.
