3, 000 calories
850 calories
1, 050 calories
1, 950 calories

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total calories consumed so far

First, add up the calories from breakfast, snack, and lunch. That is \( 850 + 350 + 750 \). Let's compute that: \( 850+350 = 1200 \), then \( 1200 + 750 = 1950 \) calories consumed.

Step2: Find remaining calories needed

Subtract the total consumed from the target of 3000. So, \( 3000 - 1950 = 1050 \) calories.

Answer:

1,050 calories (the option with "1,050 calories")
