If I select office in home expenses, should I select designated workspace (room) and only fill up workspace rent as "type of expense" on the "expenses which you incurred for office space only" section and the amount of expense on the "zero rated & expense" column?

No. You would have to figure out what portion of your room that you use for work - this generally would not include the kitchen, bathroom, laundry or sleeping areas.

You would enter your expenses in the GST, the HST or exempt/zero rated column depending on what tax you paid.

I am will allocate the home rent coz I am using half of the room as office and half of the room as bedroom.

I am not paying any utilities coz it is all included in the rent. How should I claim this?

If your utilities are part of the rent, then you are claiming them when you claim your rent. You can't claim them separately unless you are paying for them separately.
