4. Accidentally cutting a finger while chopping vegetables.

Explanation: The somatic nervous system controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement and somatic reflexes (e.g., the rapid withdrawal reflex when you cut or injure a finger). Getting scared (2) mainly triggers the autonomic sympathetic response, thirst (3) and digestion/eating (1) involve autonomic and endocrine components.
