Ansswer: option D.

Receptors that stimulate blood pressure reflexes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intrinsic myogenic means that the intrinsic muscles or smooth muscles of the heart help to regulate regular time when there is changes in intraluminal pressure. It indicate how the arteries or veins respond to increase or decrease in blood pressure to keep blood flow within the vessel. it shows that the muscles act as receptor that stimulate blood pressure reflexes instead of outside nerve cells acting as it.
