B Correct answer

Deep relaxation actually lowers blood pressure by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which counteracts the stress response. During relaxation, blood vessels dilate, heart rate slows, and the body enters a restorative state. This is why relaxation techniques are recommended for hypertension management.
