Explanation:

Question 9

• Adequate Intake (AI): Used when RDA can't be determined, based on observed intakes, not for 98% of population.
• Daily Recommended Value: Not a standard term for nutrient needs of 98% of population.
• Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): Maximum daily intake without adverse effects, not related to meeting needs of 98%.
• Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): Defined as the average daily nutrient intake level sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (97–98%) healthy individuals in a particular life - stage and gender group.

• Vitamins D and E: Fruits and vegetables are not major sources of Vitamin D (mostly from sun, fortified foods) and Vitamin E (found in nuts, seeds, etc.).
• Vitamins A and C: Fruits and vegetables are rich in Vitamin A (e.g., carrots, spinach) and Vitamin C (e.g., oranges, strawberries, bell peppers).
• Protein and calcium: Fruits and vegetables are not major sources of protein (found in meat, beans, etc.) or calcium (found in dairy, fortified foods).
• B vitamins and iron: B vitamins are more abundant in whole grains, meat, etc., and iron is more in meat, legumes, etc., not majorly from fruits/vegetables.

Answer:

D. Recommended Dietary Allowance.
