Solution

The correct option is A Blood pressure
Most prostaglandins act locally; they are powerful as locally acting vasodilators. Vasodilation occurs when the muscles in the walls of blood vessels relax, so that the vessels dilate. This creates less resistance to blood flow and allows blood flow to increase and hence blood pressure to decrease.
So, the correct answer is 'Blood pressure'
