Answer to Question 1

C
Cardiac output and recovery time decline. The heart rate slows, blood flow to all organs decreases, and arterial elasticity decreases. Blood pressure increases, and veins dilate.

Answer to Question 2

C
Biological response modifiers are agents that stimulate the body's natural immune system to destroy cancer cells. A serious complication that needs to be monitored closely is an anaphylactic reaction.
