What is the role of the nervous system?

  1. Regulate autonomic functions

  2. Produce hormones

  3. Assess and respond to the environment

  4. Break down carbohydrates

The correct answer is: Assess and respond to the environment

The nervous system plays a vital role in helping our bodies assess and respond to changes in the environment, making C the correct option. Option A, regulating autonomic functions, may seem accurate as the nervous system is involved in functions like breathing, heart rate, and digestion. However, these are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is a part of the overall nervous system. Option B, producing hormones, is incorrect as hormones are actually produced by the endocrine system, not the nervous system. Option D, breaking down carbohydrates, is not a function of the nervous system as this process is primarily carried out by the digestive system.
