    B) Sympathetic

    Explanation:

    The autonomic nervous system has two parts parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system.

    The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for regulating the body's immediate response to a stimulus i. e., the fight, flight or freeze response. It is always active which is necessary to maintain homeostasis.

    Hence, the question is referring to the sympathetic nervous system.
