Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Total flow: Refers to the volume of blood flowing, not force on vessel walls.
• Blood pressure: By definition, it is the force blood exerts against vessel walls.
• Viscosity: Relates to blood's thickness, not the force on vessels.
• Hemodynamics: Is the study of blood flow, not the force itself.

Answer:

B. Blood pressure
