If a person's arteries lose their elasticity, what may happen to blood flow?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Handling high-pressure blood will become difficult
Arteries carry blood away from the heart, and this blood is generally under high pressure. Elastic arterial walls expand when the heart pumps and recoil between beats, helping maintain smoother flow and pressure. Loss of elasticity makes this pressure regulation less effective and may disturb blood flow. Therefore option A is correct; the other options describe unrelated digestive, plant, or kidney functions.
