Explanation:

Bence Jones proteins are abnormal light - chain proteins often found in the urine of multiple myeloma patients. Rouleaux formation, where red blood cells stack like a stack of coins, can be seen in multiple myeloma due to high levels of immunoglobulins. Salt & pepper skull and raindrop skull are not typical diagnostic tests for multiple myeloma. Aspartate transaminase is an enzyme mainly related to liver and heart function, not a diagnostic for multiple myeloma.

Answer:

D. Bence Jones proteins
E. Rouleaux formation
