B) -olol
C) -pril
D) -ide

Answer 1

Ace Inhibitors, used to treat hypertension, often end in the suffix '-pril' and include well-known medications like Lisinopril and Enalapril.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ace Inhibitors often end in the suffix '-pril'. This class of medications includes drugs such as Benazepril (Lotensin), Captopril (Capoten), Enalapril (Vasotec) Fosinopril (Monopril) Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), Moexipril (Univasc) and Perindopril (Aceon).

These medications work to treat hypertension or high blood pressure by blocking the action of the enzyme that converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II which is a potent vasoconstrictor that raises blood pressure.
