Correct answer: A. NIfedipine

  • A. NIfedipine
  • B. Isosobide dinitrate
  • C. Verapamil
  • D. Digoxin

Explanation

Among these options, nifedipine is the traditional answer for lowering markedly elevated blood pressure, although immediate-release nifedipine is now avoided in hypertensive emergencies because the fall may be abrupt and unpredictable. Verapamil and digoxin are not standard crisis treatments.
