D) It is dominant during "resting and digesting" and its ganglia are nearby, on or near their target organs.

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system. Its nerves originate in the middle of the spinal cord and its ganglia located in or near the target organs. The parasynthetic nervous system controls the internal body organs in a resting state. Unlike the sympathetic nervous system, It is active all the time and promotes life by regulating vital body functions. That's why this system is also called "rest and digest" response.
