Answer 2

Answer: Decrease it

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is associated with ANS (autonomic nervous system) that helps the body to prepare for stress conditions such as in case of injury.

The parasympathetic nervous system that controls the body in resting condition. It helps in maintenance of homeostasis and relax the body.

It works opposite to sympathetic nervous system and if sympathetic nervous system increases the rate of saliva production then parasympathetic will decrease it.
