What is an agent called that affects blood pressure by increasing the flow of urine and thus reducing the volume of fluid in the body?

Vasodilator
Diuretic
Beta-blocker

B: Vasodilators work by widening blood vessels to lower blood pressure, but they do not directly affect urinary flow. D: Beta-blockers block the effects of adrenaline and reduce heart rate, but they do not directly affect urinary flow or fluid volume in the body.
