    B. Receiver Operating Characteristics 
    Explanation
    ROC stands for Receiver Operating Characteristics. This term is commonly used in statistics and machine learning to evaluate the performance of a classification model.

It helps in assessing the model's ability to discriminate between classes and in determining the optimal threshold for making predictions.

When the body is dehydrated, the urine becomes concentrated and appears darker in color. This amber appearance is a sign that the body needs more fluids to stay properly hydrated.

    • C.

      Brown 

    • D.

      Yellow 

    Correct Answer
    A. Orange 
    Explanation
    Bilirubin is a yellowish pigment that is formed when red blood cells break down. It is then processed by the liver and excreted in the bile, which eventually ends up in the urine. In some cases, if there is a problem with the liver or bile ducts, bilirubin can leak into the urine, causing it to appear orange. Therefore, orange urine is a sign of the presence of bilirubin. Black and brown urine can be caused by other factors such as certain medications or foods, while yellow urine is the normal color of urine when there are no abnormalities.

    Albumin is a protein found in the blood and is important for maintaining the osmotic pressure of blood, transporting hormones and other molecules, and regulating pH levels. It is synthesized in the liver and helps to maintain the balance of fluids in the body. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment produced when red blood cells are broken down, Klebsiella is a type of bacteria, and Amitriptyline is a medication used to treat depression and other conditions. Therefore, only albumin refers to protein.
