Hmm, I think I'll go with 'II and III only' - alkalosis and aldosterone antagonists sound like a solid combo to me.

Whoa, this question is like a potassium minefield! I better brush up on my diuretic knowledge before tackling this one.

I'm not sure about the answer. I think it might be D) II and III only because aldosterone antagonists are also potassium-sparing diuretics.

I agree with Ashanti. Potassium-sparing diuretics exert their effect in the proximal tubule and may cause intracellular alkalosis.
