Solution

The correct option is A Medulla
Hypertension is the condition in which the blood pressure of the concerned person is highly elevated. The systolic blood pressure increases to 150 mm of Hg. The baroreceptors in the heart can detect the change in the blood pressure and send signals to the medulla oblongata to regulate the pressure. The hypertensive situation is controlled by medulla oblongata.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Medulla'.
