    Option C

    Explanation:

    In general, the amount of nutrient served to an adult is equal to 50% of the nutrient served to adults. The amount of calories consumed by an adult is equal to 2000 to 2800 calories per day. Therefore, the calories required by a young kid is equal to 1000 to 1400 calories per day. Considering this, a nutrient feed of 3 tablespoon is sufficient to cater the calorie requirement of young children of age above 3 years

    Hence, option C is correct
