Ans:
B

Feedback:

: With the dominant role that the kidney assumes in blood pressure regulation, it is not surprising that the largest single cause of secondary hypertension is renal disease. Renal arteriography remains the definitive test for identifying renal artery disease. Ultrasound, CT, and MRA are other tests that can be used to screen for renovascular hypertension.
