Solution

The correct option is A Blood pressure
Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is a 28 amino acid polypeptide hormone secreted mainly by the heart atria in response to atrial stretch. ANF acts to reduce the water, sodium and adipose loads on the circulatory system, thereby reducing blood pressure.
