Skeletal muscles are controlled by -

A

Sympathetic nervous system

B

Parasympathetic nervous system

C

D

Sympathetic and parasympathetic both

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Skeletal muscles are primarily controlled by the somatic nervous system (option C), which is responsible for voluntary movements. The sympathetic (option A) and parasympathetic (option B) nervous systems are components of the autonomic nervous system, regulating involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion, not skeletal muscle contraction. Therefore, option C is the accurate choice for the control of skeletal muscles, while options A and B pertain to involuntary muscle and gland functions.
