A drop in arterial blood pressure would trigger a decrease in GFR, as the kidneys would try to conserve fluid volume. This would also trigger the release of aldosterone, which would lead to increased sodium reabsorption and decreased chloride excretion, both of which would also serve to increase fluid volume and help restore blood pressure. Therefore, all of the listed options would occur as a response to a drop in arterial blood pressure.
