Answer 2

There are no choices provided, however the correct answer regarding the result of taking diuretics is that they can cause a person to lose water weight quickly and it can be harmful because it might dehydration or potassium depletion.

Diuretics refer to drugs that lead to diuresis or excess production of urine. When a person takes a diuretic, he or she will need to urinate very frequently, leading to a loss of body weight caused by water loss. However, the "water weight" that is lost is just temporary, and is not the same as fat loss- which is more enduring. Furthermore, too much water loss in the body can lead to a potassium deficiency, which can be harmful, because potassium is an essential mineral for optimal body functioning.
