Explanation:

To determine the diet that helps prevent cancer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A diet high in protein and low in carbohydrates is more related to weight management or specific dietary plans (like keto) and not directly linked to cancer prevention.
• Option B: A diet high in fiber (from fruits, vegetables, whole grains) and low in saturated fats (found in fatty meats, full - fat dairy) is associated with reducing the risk of cancer. Fiber - rich foods help with digestion and may reduce the exposure of the colon to carcinogens, and a low - saturated - fat diet can help maintain a healthy body weight and reduce inflammation, both of which are linked to cancer prevention.
• Option C: A diet high in calcium and low in sugar is more related to bone health (calcium) and blood sugar management (low sugar) and not a primary diet for cancer prevention.

Answer:

B. a diet high in fiber and low in saturated fats
