• A. $200$
• B. $2,100$
• C. $2,400$
• D. $2,300$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2,400$

In India, the norm for calorie intake is 2,400 calories in rural areas and 2,200 in urban areas.

This is because the rural people are engaged in the more physical labour than the people in the urban areas.
