B Correct answer
Explanation

Pyramidal system is responsible for fine, isolated, precise and specific movements including gross, syngergic movements that require the activity of large groups of muscles. Thus, when a baby begins to walk, the pyramidal system controls skeletal muscle tone and co-ordinates learned movement patterns.
