Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are antihypertensive drugs that block the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, causing dilation of blood vessels.

Answer: H
 Calcium channel blockers also dilate blood vessels and are used as anti-hypertensive drugs.

Answer: E
 Beta-blockers are drugs that block the action of adrenaline in the body, thus reducing heart rate and blood pressure. They are also used to treat high blood pressure.
