10-150
B
2, 800-3, 500
C
1, 600-2, 200
D
300-800
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Men who are physically active (who do more exercise daily than moderately active people do) should consume: 3, 200 calories at age 18. 3, 000 calories at ages 19-35. 2, 800 calories at ages 36-55.

Detailed explanation-2: -Estimates range from 1, 600 to 2, 400 calories per day for adult women and 2, 000 to 3, 000 calories per day for adult men. Within each age and sex category, the low end of the range is for sedentary individuals; the high end of the range is for active individuals.

Detailed explanation-3: -If you don’t get enough protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and minerals from the food you are eating, your body will strip them from your muscle, bones and organs to stay alive. You will suffer malnutrition and disease, perhaps be at risk of sudden death. Extended starvation, which a 600-calorie diet is, is serious.
