Explanation:

Clients with ulcerative colitis need a low-fiber, low-residue diet to reduce intestinal irritation. Raw vegetables, fresh fruit, and whole wheat are high-fiber/residue, which can exacerbate symptoms. Roasted chicken (lean, low-fiber protein) and white rice (refined, low-residue grain) are appropriate choices.

B. Roasted chicken and white rice
