الإجابة: B. Hyperkalaemia
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing aldosterone antagonist, so its key adverse effect is hyperkalaemia (plus gynaecomastia). Hypokalaemia is caused by loop/thiazide diuretics, which also cause hyperglycaemia; thiazides (not spironolactone) cause hypercalcaemia.

Hypokalaemia is listed for thiazide and loop diuretics. Spironolactone does the opposite: it causes hyperkalemia.
