Which of the following best describes a limitation of Nutrition Facts Panel %DVs when used to decide if an individual meets their personalized nutrient needs?

• A. Because %DVs are derived from MyPlate proportions rather than nutrient science, they do not relate to DRIs and are irrelevant for nutrient adequacy assessment.
• B. %DVs are individualized by law and always reflect your specific age, sex, and weight, so they cannot be used for population-level comparisons.
• C. %DVs are calculated from absolute food weight and therefore cannot be affected by an individual's energy needs or DRI values.
• D. %DVs are based on a 2,000 kcal reference and population-level DRIs, so they may not reflect an individual's actual needs if their energy requirements differ significantly from 2,000 kcal.

Answer: (D)
