The general guideline for calorie consumption for infants under 6 months old is 110-120 calories per kilogram of body weight per day. Since Bo weighs 10 pounds or 4.54 kilograms, his recommended calorie consumption would be 500-545 calories per day (110-120 x 4.54). Therefore, the best choice is C, 500 calories.
