To find Benton's acceptable range of intake for carbohydrates, we need to first calculate his total daily kcal intake range using the AMDR for carbohydrates:

Minimum kcal intake: 2200 kcal/day x 0.45 (minimum percentage for carbs) = 990 kcal/day
Maximum kcal intake: 2200 kcal/day x 0.65 (maximum percentage for carbs) = 1430 kcal/day

Therefore, Benton's acceptable range of intake for carbohydrates is 990-1430 kcal/day, which is option D.
