The correct answer is E. An elevated level of aldosterone makes both an increase in blood pressure and an increase in stored sodium ion.

Explanation:

Aldosterone, a hormone produced and secreted by the adrenal glands, transmits signals to the kidneys to retain more sodium and eliminate more potassium.

Hyperaldosteronism is a metabolic disorder characterized by an overproduction and secretion of the hormone aldosterone by the adrenal glands, which leads to decreased levels of potassium in the blood plasma and, in many cases to arterial hypertension. Having hyperaldosteronism, the adrenal glands produce too much aldosterone, which causes loss of potassium and sodium retention.
