Solution

The correct option is B
Diuretic drugs increase urine flow and decrease the blood volume.

Diuretics cause the kidneys to remove more sodium and water from the body, which helps to relax the blood vessel walls, thereby lowering blood pressure. Diuretics often are combined with other high blood pressure medicines.
