To calculate Jamie's daily caloric intake, we need to multiply the amount of each macronutrient (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) by its caloric value per gram and then add the results together.

Carbohydrate: 240 gm x 4 kcal/gm = 960 kcal 
Fat: 220 gm x 9 kcal/gm = 1,980 kcal 
Protein: 132 gm x 4 kcal/gm = 528 kcal

Total Caloric Intake = 960 kcal + 1,980 kcal + 528 kcal = 3,468 kcal.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) 3,468 kcal.
