a.1000

b.100

c.200

d.50

e.900

Answer 1

a and e are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Daily recommended intake of Vitamin C for Brent = 90 mg/day.

Now,

The upper limit for the intake of Vitamin C as recommended = 2000 mg/day.

Therefore,

If Brent is consuming 900 and 1000 mg of vitamin C per day, the Brent is

consuming megadose amounts of vitamin.

Hence,

900 mg and 1000 mg represent almost 9-10 times extra intake of

vitamin C. i.e a and e are correct
