Solution

The correct options are
C Saccharin
D Aspartame
For diabetic patients, sugar cannot be used as a sweetening agent. Artificial sweetening agents that are non-nutritive in nature are used as substituents for sugar (specially in soft drinks).

Examples are saccharin (500 times sweeter than sucrose) and cyclamates. Aspartame (160 times sweeter than sucrose), another artificial sweetener is the methyl ester of the dipeptide aspartyl phenylalanine.

So, the correct options are B and D.
