The blood is pushed out of the heart to arteries (3)______ high pressure.
under
The correct answer is under.
The sentence describes how blood is propelled from the heart into the arteries. The phrase "under high pressure" accurately depicts this forceful ejection. The other options don't make grammatical or physiological sense in this context. "From high pressure" implies the blood originates from a high-pressure source *other* than the heart's pumping action. "In high pressure" lacks precision and is grammatically awkward. "Of high pressure" suggests a compositional aspect, rather than a dynamic force. Only "under high pressure" correctly conveys the physical process of blood being pushed into the arteries with considerable force.
