Solution

The correct option is C

Glucose


The normal constituents of urine include urea, uric acid, and creatinine. Glucose and other sugars are considered as abnormal constituents of urine. In normal urine sugars are not detectable; but in diabetes mellitus caused by insulin deficiency, glucose may be excreted in urine as a result of rising blood glucose level called hyperglycemia. Presence of glucose in urine is termed glycosuria.
