A. Increased sympathetic responses

Explanation:

It results from an obstruction in the retake of NE to the nerve terminal which causes more NE to accumulates in the synapse which leads to further production of the adrenergic receptors on the tissue membrane has produced by the neuron.

This adrenergic receptors act in response to signals released by sympathetic nervous system causing an increased sympathetic response.
