Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm tempted to say D, but I can't quite shake the feeling that B is the right answer. Guess I'll have to trust my instincts on this one and go with the all-pressure-decrease option.

Haha, this question is a real blood pressure puzzle! I'm gonna go with the answer that sounds the most 'blood-pressurey' - B. Both pressures down. That's got to be the healthy workout response, right?

A decrease in both pressures? Really? I would have thought the systolic would go down, but the diastolic would stay the same. Oh well, I'll go with B and cross my fingers.

Oof, this one's tricky. I'm stuck between B and D. Maybe I should just go with my gut and choose B. Both pressures decreasing seems like the most common adaptation to aerobic training.

I'm going with D. Systolic will decrease, while diastolic remains unchanged. That's just the logical response to exercise, isn't it? The heart works harder, but the resting pressure shouldn't change too much.

Hmm, I think the correct answer is B. Both systolic and diastolic pressures will decrease with long-term aerobic exercise in a hypertensive individual. It just makes sense that the heart would become more efficient at pumping blood.

I believe the answer is C) Systolic will increase, while diastolic will remain unchanged, because exercise can increase heart strength.
