Answer 1

The correct option is A dysuria

The pain or discomfort caused during urinating is called dysuria. Causes for dysuria can be infectious like urinary tract infections, vaginal infections etc. and non-infectious like kidney stones, tumors, cancer etc.
Ketonuria is the presence of ketone bodies in urine. Generally ketones (end products of fatty acid metabolism) are broken down in the liver. But during ketonuria, large amounts of ketone bodies are present in urine.
Hematuria is the presence of blood in urine. Presence of blood in urine might be due to urinary tract infections, kidney stones, or tumors.
Pyuria is the clinical condition in which urine contains white blood cells or pus.
