C. Systemic arterioles respond to a decrease in PO₂ by dilating, but pulmonary arterioles constrict in response to decreased PO₂.
Explanation:
In the arterioles, vasoconstriction is a response to high oxygen while vasodilation is a response to carbon dioxide and low pH. However, in the pulmonary arterioles, vasoconstriction occurs as a response to low oxygen and this mechanism is called hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV).
Because if we use too much coal we are wasting fossil fuels and burning coal hurts the environment so the alternative energy sources provide clean energy
