Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Including more whole grains in the diet can increase fiber intake, promote regular bowel movements, and maintain a normal fecal elimination pattern. Drinking enough water is also important to prevent constipation. Spicy foods and sugar can actually have a negative impact on a person's digestive system and bowel movements. Using enemas as necessary should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional and is not a recommended regular solution for maintaining a normal fecal elimination pattern.
