Answer
A
increasing protein in his diet
B
exercising excessively
C
self-inducing vomiting
D
taking a large amount of laxatives
E
taking performance enhancing supplements

Explanation

Bulimia nervosa can involve recurrent compensatory behaviors intended to prevent weight gain, including excessive exercise, self-induced vomiting, and misuse of laxatives. Thus, exercising excessively, self-inducing vomiting, and taking a large amount of laxatives are characteristic behaviors. Increasing protein or taking performance-enhancing supplements is not, by itself, a characteristic compensatory behavior of bulimia nervosa.
