Answer: Changes in arterial pressure

Baroreceptors are present in carotid sinus, and their main function is to maintain homeostasis. They are responsible for maintaining the blood pressure. They can sense the changes in pressure of the walls of the arteries. This way blood pressure is regulated.

Since the main function is related to blood pressure, other options are incorrect.
