Answer:B (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR)

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) can be defined as the distribution range of the dietary energy intake from macronutrient sources such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins that may cause or increase the risk of attack of chronic diseases when there's an excess in the intake range of AMDR or increase the risk at which an individual is affected with chronic diseases in cases resulting from deficiency in essential macronutrient intake from diet.

When are is imbalance in the distribution range of macronutrient it increases risk of chronic disease attack.
