People with chronic high blood pressure or hypertension often take a specific type of drug, called a diuretic, to help control their blood pressure. Diuretics reduce Na+ reabsorption from the lumen of the nephron. Water reabsorption is also reduced so Na+ and water are eliminated via the urine, increasing urine flow. Elaborate on how this reduces blood pressure.

A)The increased blood volume helps stretch the heart muscle and causes it to generate more pressure with each beat. B)The decreased reabsorption of Na+ and water from the nephron reduces blood volume, and as a result, reduces blood pressure. C)The increased Na+ and water reabsorption from the distal tubule reduces urine output and increases the circulating blood volume. D)The decreased reabsorption of Na+ causes the blood vessels to contract and the increased blood vessel constrictions decrease blood pressure.
