Answer: B
Rationale: A 67-year-old Black patient with diabetes and gradual peripheral visual field loss fits a high-risk profile for primary open-angle glaucoma. Older age, Black race, and progressive peripheral vision loss (classic for glaucomatous field loss) warrant urgent ophthalmology/glaucoma evaluation (IOP measurement, gonioscopy, optic nerve exam, visual fields and OCT) and prompt management if confirmed.
