'CBG, CBS' in medical terminology stands for?

  1. Cerebral Blood Gas, Cerebral Blood Sugar

  2. Capillary Blood Glucose, Capillary Blood Sugar

  3. Cardiac Blood Graft, Cardiac Blood Serum

  4. Central Body Growth, Central Body Strength

The correct answer is: Capillary Blood Glucose, Capillary Blood Sugar

CBG typically stands for Capillary Blood Glucose, not Cerebral Blood Gas or Cerebral Blood Sugar (A). While it is possible for CBG to stand for Capillary Blood Sugar, that would not be the common usage (B). C has both incorrect terms for "B" and while D has made a valiant attempt at making plausible terminology, neither Central Body Growth nor Central Body Strength represent commonly used medical terminology.
