The specific subdivision of the nervous system that calms the body after strenuous physical activity is the **parasympathetic nervous system** (option 3). The parasympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system and is responsible for promoting the "rest and digest" response, helping to slow the heart rate, increase intestinal and gland activity, and relax the muscles.
