Ans:
B

Feedback:

The presence of crystalline deposits in synovial fluid confirms a diagnosis of gout and would necessitate further investigation and/or treatment. Hyperuricemia is not necessarily indicative of gout, and while diet can contribute to gout, this would not necessarily require modification in the absence of gout. Oral colchicine often takes 48 hours to take effect during an acute attack of gout.
