Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Hamburger on a bun, banana: This choice is high in protein and potassium, which may not be suitable for someone with chronic renal disease, as excessive potassium intake can be harmful to individuals with impaired kidney function.

B. Carrots, green leafy vegetables, a pear: This choice is low in potassium and phosphorus, making it suitable for someone with chronic renal disease. Carrots and green leafy vegetables are generally lower in potassium, and a pear is a low-potassium fruit option.

C. Spaghetti with meat sauce, breadstick: This choice may be high in protein and sodium, depending on the sauce and breadstick ingredients, which may not be ideal for someone with chronic renal disease.

D. Cold cuts with bun, blueberries: Cold cuts can be high in sodium, and blueberries are moderately high in potassium, so this choice may not be appropriate for someone with chronic renal disease.
