The correct answer is (C) Reduced Blood Pressure.


Nitroglycerin is a drug given to dilate blood vessels when they narrow due to diseases as Arteriosclerosis.
Nitroglycerin will widen the arteries to make it easier for the blood to reach the heart, therefor making it easier for the latter to function properly.
