  A) the intracranial pressure changes due to the increased respiration rate of a person standing erect.
  B) as an adult moves from a recumbent position to a standing position the weight of the column of CSF is added incrementally to the pressure in the lumbar subarachnoid space and the intracranial pressure decreases.
  C) as an adult moves from a recumbent position to a standing position the weight of the column of CSF is added incrementally to the pressure in the ventricles of the brain, and the intracranial pressure decreases.
  D) the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide reach equilibrium, very nearly zero mmHg when a person stands up.
