Explanation:

Question 3

In nutrition, a significant deviation of about 70% below the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) can lead to a nutrient deficiency. This is based on nutritional science knowledge about how much of a nutrient intake deviation from RDA can cause deficiencies.

Consuming three times or more of the RDA for a nutrient over time is not safe for the average person. Excessive intake of many nutrients can lead to toxicity or other health issues (e.g., excessive vitamin A can be toxic). So the statement is false.

Answer:

70% (the option with 70%)
