Solution

The correct option is C Pushes against wall of blood vessels
The force with which the blood pushes against the walls of the blood vessels, usually arteries, is known as the blood pressure. It is described in the unit mm Hg. The normal diastolic and systolic pressure of the adult human heart is 120 mm Hg and 80 mm Hg, respectively.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Pushes against wall of blood vessels.'
