ANS: C
Acetazolamide is used to reduce intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic used to decrease intracranial pressure. Diuretics such as furosemide or ethacrynic acid are used to reduce fluid volume in extravascular spaces. Diuretics are not used to treat periorbital edema.
