Solution

The correct option is B Cardio-inhibitory and vasoconstrictor centres.
Short term regulation of high blood pressure is mediated through baroreceptors which cause inhibition of vasoconstrictor centre (resulting in peripheral vasodilation) and stimulation of cardio-inhibitory centre through vagal stimulation that slow down heart beat.
So, the correct answer is 'Cardio-inhibitory and vasoconstrictor centres.'
