Answer
A
diuretics
B
inotropic drugs
C
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors
D
antihypertensive drugs

Explanation

Diuretics reduce excess fluid, while inotropic drugs can strengthen the heart’s contractions in some cases of heart failure. Certain antihypertensive drugs, such as ACE inhibitors, also help treat congestive heart failure by lowering the heart’s workload. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) lower cholesterol and may reduce cardiovascular risk, but they are not a standard direct treatment for heart failure.
