Answer:

The expected response of diastolic blood pressure as workload increases during a graded exercise test b. it will most likely increase

Step-by-step explanation:

The heart is a bomb which is encharged of pumping blood to every part in the body. When the body makes an extra effort like is seen in a graded exercise test, the heart needs to increase the pumping of blood and all of these is because there are many means of compensation to maintain an adequate and physiological requirements. Those means of compensation are increases of cardiac frequency and an increase in blood pressure. The increase of blood pressure is majorly seen in systolic pressure but also is seen a little increase in diastolic blood pressure.
