O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/11/O/N/23

Explanation
Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes arrector pili contraction Steps:
- Identify hair erector muscles as arrector pili, controlled by sympathetic nerves.
- Recall triggers: cold exposure activates via thermoreceptors; adrenaline release from fear/stress stimulates directly.
- Match to options: assume 1 is cold exposure, 4 is fear/emotion based on standard biology contexts.
- Eliminate pairs without both triggers.
Why B is correct:
- Combines cold (1) and fear (4), both proven sympathetic activators per autonomic physiology.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Lacks fear trigger; 3 likely unrelated (e.g., heat).
- C: Misses cold; 2 probably non-stimulant (e.g., relaxation).
- D: Omits cold; pairs weak trigger with irrelevant.
Not enough information on exact actions 1–4 for full certainty. Final answer: B
