The Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges recommends that fat should provide 20-35% of daily calorie intake. At 1200 Calories/day, 20-35% translates to 240-420 Calories/day from fat. There are 9 Calories/gram of fat, so the daily limit in grams would be 26.7-46.7 grams/day. The closest option is 47 grams/day, which is choice C.
