Solution

The correct option is A High fibre diet
Dietary fiber is the indigestible portion of the carbohydrate in the food derived from plants. These are of two types - the soluble fiber and the insoluble one. The insoluble fiber is metabolically inert and being prebiotic and ferment in the large intestine. These bulking fibers tend to absorb water as they move through the digestive system which helps in easy defecation. Hence, consuming a diet with high fiber content will help prevent constipation.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
