You know, I always get Diflunisal mixed up with Diflucan. Maybe they're both good for treating fungal infections? Nah, just kidding. I'm gonna go with B) Rheumatoid arthritis on this one.

Ha! E) Hansen's disease, really? Unless Diflunisal has some secret leprosy-fighting powers, I don't think that's the right answer. I'm going with B) Rheumatoid arthritis.
