What is one of the slowest-progressing types of glaucoma?

Closed angle
Normal tension
Open angle
Secondary

The correct answer is: Open angle

Open angle glaucoma is a type of glaucoma that progresses slowly and gradually over time. The other options, while also types of glaucoma, are not typically characterized by such a slow progression. Closed angle and secondary glaucoma tend to progress more rapidly, while normal tension glaucoma may progress at a slightly slower but still substantial rate. Therefore, open angle glaucoma is the most appropriate answer to the question.
