Explanation / Answer

correct answer is D the COX-2 inhibitors show anti-inflammatory activity similar to that of the traditional NSAIDs.

They donot affect platelets. Like NSAID, the COX-2 inhibitors may cause development of acute renal failure due to renal vasoconstriction. COX-2 inhibitors also have the potential of increasing the risk of myocardial infarction.
