Solution

The correct options are
B He should consume less amount of sugars.
D He should increase the consumption of protein rich foods.
From the given report, we can see that, the values of urea and glucose are not in the normal range.
The person has less amount of urea than the normal range. This means he should increase the consumption of proteins as proteins are broken down to form urea.
He has high amount of glucose in his urine. This is because his food has a lot of sugar in it. This sugar is broken down to give glucose.
As glucose is excess in his body, it is excreted through the urine.
Drinking less amount of water is not good for health.
