Explanation:

Step1: Recall RDA value

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein for adults is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day. This is a well - established nutritional guideline.

Step2: Compare actual and RDA

The actual protein intake is 14.20 grams and the recommended intake given in the table is 7.3 grams. Since 14.20 > 7.3 and 7.3 is likely based on the RDA calculation for the person's weight, the actual intake is at least as much as the RDA.

Answer:

c. 0.8
d. YES
