<h2>B) is the correct option </h2>

Explanation:

The parasympathetic activity decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion

Increased sympathetic activity plays an important role in patho-physiological role in hypertension, particularly in the early stages which is evident by  increased heart rate and blood pressure variability
