Answer»

The correct OPTION is (a) Osmotic diuretics

Easiest explanation: Osmotic diuretics such as mannitol pull water into the blood vessels and nephrons from the surrounding tissues, REDUCES CELLULAR edema, increase urine production causing diuresis, and reduces excessive INTRAOCULAR pressure. Loop diuretics act directly on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to INHIBIT sodium and chloride resorption.
