What did a longitudinal study by Stewart, Janicki, and Kamarck (2006) find related to increased blood pressure from noise and other situational stimuli?

A) Their findings confirmed those in the literature that blood pressure normalizes once the stressor stops.
B) They found that the duration to normalize blood pressure predicts hypertension over a three-year time.
C) Their findings refuted those in the literature that blood pressure normalizes once the stressor is stopped.
D) They found that the duration to normalize blood pressure is longer in people with existing hypertension.

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The longitudinal study by Stewart, Janicki, and Kamarck (2006) found that the duration to normalize blood pressure predicts hypertension over a three-year time, suggesting that prolonged exposure to stressors such as noise and other situational stimuli may contribute to the development of hypertension. Their findings did not confirm or refute the idea that blood pressure normalizes once the stressor stops, nor did they find that the duration to normalize blood pressure is longer in people with existing hypertension.
