Answer 1

The correct option is A

(i) increase,(ii) constrict, (iii)increased

A person suffering from blood loss experiences a drop in blood pressure. To increase the blood pressure, the cardiac output is to be increased which is acquired by an increase in heartbeat. Since blood pressure is a function of both rate of heartbeat and the resistance of blood on the walls of the vessels. Blood pressure is also increased by vasoconstriction.
