Answer:

Option c. cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart

Explanation:

The ACE inhibitors increases the diameter of the blood vessels (vasodilation) that improves the flow of blood. This reduces the work load on the heart. At the time of heart failure, a substance called angiotensin is released. This angiotensin formation is blocked by the ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin is involved in narrowing the blood vessels.

The ACE cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart. The ACE inhibitors causes vasodilation that allows decrease in blood pressure. So, there is no increase in arterial pressure, aldosterone and loss of volume. Thus, option C is correct.

What environmental worldview is seen by critics as focused on short-term economic benefits with little regard for long term harm
attashe74 [19]
I believe the answer is the global free-market approach.
It is because on continually increasing use of earth's natural capital, and it focuses on short term economic benefits with little regard for degradation and depletion of natural capital and resulting long-term harmful environmental, health, and social consequences. Environmental world views are the ways of thinking about how the world work and beliefs that people hold about their roles in the natural world, another factor is widespread lack of understanding of how earth's life-support system works, keeps us alive, and supports economies.
