Answer and Explanation

B.    When a person is dehydrated, there is less fluid in the bloodstream, which typically causes a decrease in blood pressure.
C.    Blood pressure is likely to decrease in dehydration due to reduced circulating volume, rather than remain unchanged.
D.    Dehydration will not increase blood pressure; it typically causes a compensatory decrease in blood pressure.
