All of these symptoms are caused by increased hydrostatic pressure from right-sided heart failure.
1. **Peripheral edema** - Increased hydrostatic pressure leads to fluid leakage into the interstitial spaces, causing swelling in the legs and feet.
2. **Jugular venous distension** - Increased pressure in the right atrium can lead to distension of the jugular veins due to the backflow of blood.
3. **Ascites** - Increased hydrostatic pressure in the abdominal vessels can cause fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity.
Thus, the correct answer is **All of these symptoms are caused by increased hydrostatic pressure from right sided heart failure**.
