Correct Answer:

Adrenal gland


Solution : The correct option is Adrenal gland.

The adrenal gland is involved in the control of blood pressure. The adrenal gland is  responsible for manufacturing hormones that impact blood pressure, such as cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol is a stress hormone that can raise blood pressure. It accomplishes this by increasing the quantity of salt and water retained by the body. Aldosterone is a hormone that regulates blood pressure by managing the quantity of salt and water excreted by the kidneys. High aldosterone levels cause the kidneys to retain more salt and water, which can result in high blood pressure.
