Solution

The correct option is B angiotensin II
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) controls blood pressure by regulating the volume of fluids in the body. It converts the hormone angiotensin I to the active vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Therefore, inhibition of ACE will prevent formation of angiotensin II.
