Which of the Following Explains How Tyramine-Containing Foods Can Induce

Which of the following explains how tyramine-containing foods can induce hypertensive crisis when taking an monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) ?

A) Because MAOIs induce the production of tyramine,adding more to the body would cause a buildup in blood circulation,resulting in hypertensive crisis.
B) Adding additional tyramine in the diet could induce NE to be released from storage,potentially causing dangerously high levels of NE as MAO is not available to break tyramine down.
C) Additional tyramine would be available in the synaptic cleft,allowing it to bind the receptors,causing hypertensive crisis.
D) Having too much tyramine in the body would force the body to reuptake it,resulting in hypertensive crisis.
