BrainlyModIsBusy · Answer

Correct answerc. Peripheral nervous system (PNS)The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) includes all the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It controls movement and sensation in the limbs. If there is muscle weakness in the leg, it means the nerves in the PNS might have been damaged due to trauma from the accident. This affects motor function in that specific area.
