Blocking ACE activity would lead to decreased production of angiotensin II, which normally stimulates thirst and increases blood volume. Therefore, it is unlikely that a drug blocking ACE activity would result in increased thirst and higher blood volume. Instead, it would lead to decreased thirst and lower blood volume. Choices A, B, and D are all likely outcomes of blocking ACE activity.
