Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

They inhibit ACE, there is no conversion to Ang II, the activation of bradykinins is inhibited and they accumulate creating adverse effects. Vasodilation of the efferent arteriole occurs in the kidney, intraglomerular pressure is decreased and secondary damage caused by hypertension can be improved.
