Involves the aldosterone-mediated K+/H+ pump, so the body would not pull back K+ and would therefore hold onto H+...it would not be able to regenerate HCO3- and would develop acidosis.
B is the right answer.

hyperK---K into the cell and H out---acidosis (cell mechan.)
but acidosis inhibits the K secretion in distal duct
so i suppose it's important to increase the secretion--so?

If you increase excretion of Na+, then you will absolutely not clear K+ also, since the last pump that deals with both exchanges Na+ for K+...you would need to increase reclamation of Na+ to clear K+, I would think. My belief is that you get acidotic as a result of renal clearance of K+, whether it is through 'acidosis' or 'increased secretion of HCO3-'...I am not crazy about either of them but that is my theory.

Yes I agree that the answer is B...more K+is being excreted while H+ is being conserved in the DCT
