Explanation / Answer

Solution :

Answer is option E) a, b and c are correct

Reason : Constriction occurs in the pulmonary blood vessels in the lungs in response to localized hypoxia (low oxygen levels), this vasoconstriction in response to hypoxia diverts pulmonary blood from poorly ventilated areas of the lungs to well-ventilated regions for more efficient gas exchange while the blood vessels in the rest of the body dilate to increase the blood flow.
