Solution

The correct option is C Increase in blood pressure
In response to high blood pressure, atrial wall secretes ANF(Atrial Natriuretic Factor) which checks the RAAS(Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System). RAAS gets activated by a decrease in GFR(Glomerular Filtration Rate). The ANF causes vasodilation. Moreover, it inhibits Renin-Aldosterone and ADH release.
So, the correct answer is 'Increase in blood pressure'.
