ACE Inhibitors Prevent Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) from Performing Its

ACE inhibitors prevent angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) from performing its role in the body. Which statement best describes why doctors prescribe ACE inhibitors?

A) ACE inhibitors block the production of renin in the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys reducing fluid volume and, therefore, blood pressure.
B) ACE inhibitors block baroreceptors and reduce sympathetic activity to the cardiovascular system, thereby reducing blood pressure.
C) ACE inhibitors reduce blood pressure by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II.
D) ACE inhibitors slow down the heart rate by not allowing atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) to be released from the heart, decreasing sodium production and, therefore, blood pressure.
E) ACE inhibitors increase blood pressure by blocking the RASS pathway.
