The key is E. US abdomen. This is wrong key. Correct key is A. Colonoscopy. [Probable diagnosis is diverticulitis and preferred investigation from given list is colonoscopy. Colonoscopy: It views the colon's interior to see the inflamed, infected pouches. Ultrasound images lack the detail of CT images and cannot evaluate the intestines as well as CT].
