Best answer

The correct option is (d) constriction of pupil.

Explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous system involves conservation of energy and brings about relaxation, comfort, pleasure etc, at the time of rest. Another function of this system ts that during emergency or stress while SNS dilates pupil for more light, PNS constricts the pupil to its normal condition.
