Explanation:

Analyze the first question on comparing food labels

The prompt asks to identify which nutrients to limit when comparing food labels among similar products. Saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars are all nutrients that dietary guidelines recommend limiting for better health outcomes. Therefore, all individual options are correct, making "all answers are correct" the right choice.

Analyze the second question on % Daily Value guidelines

The question asks for the specific percentages that define "low" and "high" nutrient amounts on a food label, commonly known as the 5/20 rule. According to the FDA, a % Daily Value (%DV) of 5% or less is considered low (for nutrients you want to consume less of, like saturated fat or sodium), and a %DV of 20% or more is considered high (for nutrients you want to consume more of, like fiber). This corresponds to the option "5% or less; 20% or more".
