Choose the most likely options for the information

We can solve the problem by writing the Mifflin-St. Jeor equation to estimate Total Energy Expenditure (TEE): \[ \text{TEE} = \bigl(\text{Weight} \times 10 + \text{Height} \times 6.25 - \text{Age} \times 5 - 161\bigr) \times \text{Physical activity coefficient} \] Because the question asks for “her current energy needs” and provides several options, we must consider reasonable values for a typical adult woman. For example, assume the following: - Weight: \(60\, \mathrm{kg}\) - Height: \(165\, \mathrm{cm}\) - Age: \(30\, \mathrm{years}\) - Physical activity coefficient: approximately \(1.4\) (a moderate activity level) Step 1. Compute the basal part (the value inside the parentheses): \[ \begin{aligned} \text{BMR} &= 60 \times 10 + 165 \times 6.25 - 30 \times 5 - 161\\[1mm] &= 600 + 1031.25 - 150 - 161\\[1mm] &= 1320.25\, \mathrm{kcal/day} \end{aligned} \] Step 2. Multiply by the physical activity coefficient: \[ \text{TEE} = 1320.25 \times 1.4 \approx 1848\, \mathrm{kcal/day} \] Step 3. Rounding to a typical choice, the result is closest to \(1830\, \mathrm{kcal/day}\). Thus, among the options provided, the most likely energy requirement is: - \(1830\, \mathrm{kcal/day}\) So the answer is option (a).
