Solution

The correct option is A Diabetes mellitus
Various metabolic disorders including the malfunctioning of the kidneys can be diagnosed by analysing the urine.The condition in which glucose is present in urine is called glycosuria. The condition in which ketone bodies can be seen in the urine is called ketonuria. These two conditions can be used to indicate a metabolic disorder- Diabetes mellitus. A diabetic patient will have high blood sugar levels. This is because the body is not synthesising enough insulin or is unable to use the insulin effectively to transport the sugar from the blood to the cells where the sugar is generally used to produce energy or is stored for future use.
