The correct Answer is:
A
An increase in blood how to the atria of the heart can cause the release of Atrial Natriuretic Factor (ANF). ANF can cause vasodilation (dilation of blood vessels) and thereby decrease the blood pressure.
ANF mechanism, therefore, acts as a check on the renin-angiotensin mechanism.

Suppose that of all used cars of a particular year, 30% have bad brakes. You are considering buying a used car or that year. You take the car to a mechanic to have the brakes checked. The chance that the mechanic will give you wrong report is 20%. Assuming that the car you take to the mechanic is selected at random from the population of cars of that year. The chance that the car's brakes are good given that the mechanic says its brakes are good is-
