Answer»

The correct choice is (c) Hepatic cirrhosis

For EXPLANATION I would say: THIAZIDE and thiazide-like diuretics are mostly prescribed for hypertension, idiopathic hypercalciuria, and treatment of hepatic cirrhosis. Loop diuretics ACT directly on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and CHLORIDE resorption.
