Final Answer : A, Explanation :  A dietician is a healthcare provider who specializes in nutrition and can create a personalized diet plan for Mr. Kindle that is low in both fat and salt to manage his hypertension. A pharmacist can provide medication but cannot create a diet plan. A physician can refer Mr. Kindle to a dietician but may not have the expertise in nutrition to create a diet plan themselves. A paramedical technologist does not have the qualifications to create a diet plan.
