According to the FDA, the term "light" can be used on food packaging if the product has one-third fewer calories or half the fat of the regular product. Option B correctly identifies this requirement. Option A only addresses the presence of trans fats, which does not necessarily relate to the use of the term "light." Option C specifies fewer calories but does not provide a specific percentage reduction, while Option D only requires a 25 percent reduction in fat, which is not as strict as the FDA's requirement for the use of the term "light."
