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.

I agree with Valene, because long term aerobic exercise can help lower blood pressure.
