Answer» CORRECT answer is (d) Distal TUBULE To explain: Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics work by inhibiting tubular RESORPTION of sodium and CHLORIDE ions. The action primarily in the ascending loop of Henle and early distal tubule. This results in water, sodium, and chloride are excreted. Potassium is also excreted to a lesser extent and dilate the arterioles by DIRECT relaxation, lowers peripheral vascular resistance.
