Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is an example of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors inhibit the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, reducing bicarbonate production. Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to treat glaucoma and altitude sickness. Furosemide is a loop diuretic that acts on the sodium-potassium-chloride transporter. Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks aldosterone receptors. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits sodium reabsorption in the distal convoluted tubule.
Therefore, the correct answer is C as it directly targets carbonic anhydrase.
