Answer

Correct answer:

The correct answer is option (B) I will stop drinking liquids after dinner to prevent getting up at night.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation/justification for the correct answer:

Option (B) I will stop drinking liquids after dinner to prevent getting up at night. Drinking water after or before a meal is not actually bad or does not awaken a person during sound sleep. It aids in the process of digestion. So, the correct answer is option (B).

Explanation for incorrect answer:

Option (A) I will make sure, I will eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoid red meat. Fruits and vegetables possess a large number of vitamins and minerals and also contain dietary fibers. Red meat possesses a large amount of saturated fat and it can enhance the blood cholesterol level. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (C) I am going to check if I can get food stamps to help me afford better foods. Food stamps, which are better known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), support a family of low income to extend their budget to attain more food. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (D) I have got to increase more fiber in my diet to help my bowels work better. Dietary fibers can enhance the size and weight of the stool and also make them soft to facilitate easy passage through the bowel. So, this is an incorrect option.
