No answer is nifedipine for treating this pt's Prinzmetal angina and also to lower his BP

yup!
answer is A.
nifedipine is a vasodilator that can dilate coronaries...hence used in angina!
nitrates...like nitroglycerine.... dilate veins better...not used in angina!
you guys are all correct....i just thought i'll add this.
