This is not supported. The stimulus tells us about a causal link where high stress can cause high blood pressure, not the other way around.

This is not supported. Reading closely, the stimulus only says that stress is a “common” cause of high blood pressure. “Common” doesn’t equate to “most.” Instead, it would be better translated as “some,” which does not support this inference.

This is not supported. Firstly, most people can calm their minds by exercising, but a calm mind only sometimes reduces stress—maybe less than half the time, we don’t know. Secondly, there may be other ways to calm the mind and reduce stress without exercising.

This is not supported. The stimulus describes a very indirect mechanism for exercise to sometimes lower blood pressure: we need the intermediate steps of calm mind and stress reduction first. That’s definitely not a direct link between exercise and lower blood pressure.

This is strongly supported. Based on the stimulus, exercise can calm the mind, which can reduce stress, which can reduce blood pressure. None of these steps is guaranteed, but it seems very likely that at least some people make it all the way to lower blood pressure.
