The correct answer is Stimulation of the vagus nerve.

If you stimulate the vagus nerve, the parasympathetic system that connects it all has an impulse that travels to the heart and it slows down the heart. If you stimulate the sympathetic in any way you will actually increase the heart rate which wouldn't be good for the patient.
