Solution

The correct option is B
Sakshi may suffer from constipation.

The diet which Sakshi has decided to take contains less roughage. Though roughage is not a nutrient in our food, it is an important component of food. This adds bulk to our food which helps our body to get rid of undigested food. Hence if the amount of roughage is less in somebody's diet, he/she may suffer from constipation.
