Answer:

B. ethosuximide-valproic acid can be used for absence seizures

Explanation:

The child is suffering from absence seizures and out of above mentioned drugs clonazepam and ethosuximide could be used for the treatment but, clonazepam has depressant effect on central nervous system. On the other hand ethosuximide has less adverse affects, not so sedating and tolerance also does not evolve against its anti-seizure activity. Other medication for this childhood epilepsy include valporic acid and lamotrigine other then ethosuximide, but all these medications have there own side effects with ethosuximide having the fewer.
