Solution

The correct option is B Pumpkin
Roughages (dietary fibres) are a type of carbohydrates.
They help in preventing constipation.
They remove the undigested food by adding bulk to the food materials.
Pumpkin, palak, apples, banana, papaya, etc are rich sources of dietary fibres. While milk, meat and eggs on the other hand are rich sources of protein.
