Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A positive DNPH test indicates the presence of aldehydes in the urine, which could indicate the presence of ketones. Therefore, the answer choice (A) Ketones is the best choice. The other options (B) Glucose, (C) Protein, and (D) Bilirubin may or may not be positive in this case, and their presence would not necessarily be related to a positive DNPH test.
