Hormones are the chemical drug class that acts as signaling molecules. The Atrial natriuretic peptide decreases blood pressure by promoting vasodilation. Thus, option C is correct.

What is an Atrial natriuretic peptide?

The atrial natriuretic peptide is a hormone that is secreted in case of increased blood pressure and volume from the atrium of the heart. It is secreted as the result of the stretched cardiac walls by high blood pressure.

It acts by decreasing the blood pressure through diuresis of sodium and water in the renal excretion by increased vascular permeability. On the other hand, ADH increases blood pressure.

Therefore, option C. Atrial natriuretic peptide reduces blood pressure.
