Answer 1

Answer:

d. visceral.

Explanation:

The visceral reflex is one that happens autonomously in the body, aiming to maintain the balance of the body through quick responses to some specific impulses. An example of a visceral reflex is the reduction in body temperature with the release of sweat from the sweat glands.

The visceral reflexes are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, using the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
