c)	Motor fibers that conduct nerve impulses from the central nervous system to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands

d)	Motor fibers that conduct nerve impulses from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles

e)	Sensory and motor neurons that supply the digestive tract

Answer 1

Answer: (c) Motor fibers that conduct nerve impulses from the central nervous system to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands

Rationale: our internal body, muscles and glands are supplied by the ANS( autonomic nervous system) .

This will take care of the work which is done inside the body simultaneously like breathing.

The option in the answer explains the ANS, It says that they conduct nerve impulses to supply the smooth muscles of the organs and gland.

Hence it is the function of the ANS.
