Solution

The incorrect statement about the structure of the autonomic nervous system is: "parasympathetic pre-ganglionic neurons are located mostly in the thoracic and lumbar spinal cords."

The parasympathetic pre-ganglionic neurons are actually located in the brainstem and the sacral (not thoracic and lumbar) spinal cord. This is often referred to as the "craniosacral division" of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic pre-ganglionic neurons, on the other hand, are located in the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord, which is why it's often referred to as the "thoracolumbar division."
