Correct Answer : D.


The dementias associated with NPH (normal pressure hydrocephalus), Alzheimer's, sarcoidosis, and vitamin B12 deficiency can be either cured or benefit from the following treatments: shunting of the ventricles in NPH; acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil, rivastigmine and tacrine for Alzhiemer's; vitamin B12 replacement for B12 deficiency. Currently, CreutzfeldtJakob disease (CJD) cannot be cured, and its progress cannot be slowed. The disease is fatal, usually within months or a few years.
