Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Athletes need more protein to help repair, rebuild muscle tissues after intense physical activity or training. The recommended protein intake for athletes is generally 1.2-2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. 
So, for Chase, who weighs 90 kg, the recommended protein intake would be:
1.2 x 90 kg = 108 g/day 
2.0 x 90 kg = 180 g/day 
Therefore, his daily protein intake should be 108 to 180 g/day. Option D covers this range.
