III.lactic acidosis
IV.renal failure

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metabolic acidosis with an increased anion gap is characterized by a higher-than-normal concentration of anions in the blood. This can be caused by the accumulation of acids such as ketoacids (ketoacidosis) and lactic acid (lactic acidosis) as well as in renal failure where there is decreased elimination of acids. Diarrhea (option I) can cause metabolic acidosis with a normal anion gap. Therefore, the correct answer is option C - II, III, and IV.
