Urine contains 1% glucose
The color of the solution after performing the Benedict's test represent the amount of glucose present in the given solution. If the solution turns green, it indicates presence of 0.1 to 0.5 % glucose.
If the solution turns yellow, it indicates presence of 0.5 to 1% glucose.
If the solution turns orange, it indicates presence of 1 to 1.5% glucose.
If the solution turns red, it indicates presence of 1.5 to 2% glucose.
If the solution has more than 2% of glucose then the solution shows brick red precipitate.
So as the yellow color can show a maximum of 1% glucose the correct option is D.
