• C. High blood pressure than normal
• D. More pressure on heart

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A High systolic pressure
C High blood pressure than normal
D More pressure on heart

High blood pressure than the normal is also known as hypertension. In this condition the blood pressure in the arteries is constantly high, due to which unnecessary tension in the arteries develop. As a result, heart needs to perform more function than the normal. Both systolic and diastolic pressures are high in hypertension.
