The acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) for fat intake is 20-35% of total daily caloric intake. 
If someone is consuming 2800 kcalories per day, the range for fat intake would be:
Low end: 2800 x 0.2 = 560 kcalories
High end: 2800 x 0.35 = 980 kcalories
Therefore, the answer would be B since it falls within the range of 560-980 kcalories.
