B) spironolactone and chlorthalidone
C) hydrochlorothiazide and chlorothalidone
D) metolazone and hydrochlorothiazide

A

Answer= C

Rationale
A) furosemide is a loop diuretic and not a thiazide
B) spironolactone is a potassium sparing diuretic, not a thiazide
C) see page 331, second paragraph of Edema Associated with…
D) Both metolazone and HCTZ are classified under thiazide diuretics, but metolazone is not the preferred thiazide in this situation.
