Correct answer: A — Bradykinin effect is less with ARNI; continue and evaluate other causes
Cough is less frequent with ARNI than ACE inhibitors; evaluate alternative causes (e.g., fluid status, GERD). Immediate cessation for ACE-cough (B) misattributes; hyperkalemia/AKI (C,D) do not cause cough; anaphylaxis (E) is not consistent.
