  A) Beta-blockers block norepinephrine and epinephrine from binding to beta-adrenoceptors and a calcium channel blocker inhibits the flow of calcium ions into muscles.

  D) Although both slow down and relax the heart, only beta-blockers can inhibit the flow of calcium ions into muscles, thereby inhibiting muscle contraction.
