Choice B rationale

Urine for microalbuminuria is important to detect early kidney damage, which can occur in diabetic nephropathy.

Choice C rationale

Hearing (audio) exam is not a standard annual test for diabetic complications. Diabetes primarily affects the vascular system, kidneys, and nerves.

Choice E rationale

Monofilament testing of the foot is conducted annually to detect diabetic neuropathy and prevent foot ulcers and infections.
