NS, confusion!

I am a bit confused here:

"The two parts of the Peripheral Nervous System include the Somatic NS (motor and sensory neuron) and Autonomic NS(motor neuron only)".

Is this a correct statement?
I thought,both have motor and sensory neurons as both have afferent and efferent neuron.

Would somebody explains this to me?
Thanks.

Is this from Kaplan or Destroyer?

That seems weird to me too.. I don't have any notes or books to check that with right now.

This is from Destroyer #49 old version.The only thing that could make sense is that since autonomic NS is involuntary,we have no control on it,therefore there won't be any sensory involve with it whereas somatic we sense something and react to it(voluntary)!!!!
But,again Autonomic NS has sensory neurons coming from different organs of our body!!!!!

I just did that question from destroyer and it says that ANS contains only motor neurons is a false sentence.

Wow,I have the old version and the correct choice is E all of the above are true!!!!!!
Thank you for letting me know.

Even if an organ is involuntary, it should still have sensory nerves. Think about it this way... when your stomach hurts (or something like that), you can tell because you can feel it. (i.e. via sensory nerves)

Okay I'm glad there was an error in the original question!
