A. The risk of progression to hypertension is reduced by 34.2% in patients assigned to the new drug as compared to the currently available drug.

B. The risk of progression to hypertension is 1.52 times higher in patient’s current drug as compared to the new drug.

C. The risk of progression to hypertension is 5.12 times higher in patient’s current drug as compared to the new drug

D. a and b

from above reduced risk =1-0.658 =0.342

as well risk ratio =1/0.658 =1.52

therefore option D is correct.
