Explanation

The correct answer is Option B: Adrenaline causes a temporary increase in blood pressure. This is supported by the observation in the experiment where blood pressure spiked within 10 minutes of adrenaline injection and then gradually returned to normal levels. Option A is incorrect as the experiment did not show a permanent lowering of blood pressure. Option C is incorrect because the experiment clearly demonstrated a cardiovascular effect of adrenaline. Option D is incorrect as the experiment did not measure the heart rate but focused on blood pressure changes.
