B
This patient has otitis externa. Ciprofloxacin otic drops instilled onto a wick in the ear canal are indicated to treat this condition. Benzocaine is a local anesthetic and would not treat the infection. Glycerin oil drops are used to soften cerumen. An acetic acid, boric acid, and isopropyl alcohol solution is used to prevent, not treat, otitis externa.
