Which of the following would be the most appropriate antihypertensive drug for this patient?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hydrochlorothiazide. This diuretic is appropriate for a patient with hypertension due to its ability to reduce blood volume and lower blood pressure. It is often recommended as a first-line treatment for essential hypertension. Propranolol (B) is a beta-blocker that may not be as effective as a diuretic in this case. Captopril (C) is an ACE inhibitor that may be used as an alternative, but not as the most appropriate choice. Clonidine (D) is a centrally acting alpha-2 agonist and typically considered a second-line treatment option.
