The answer is (C): An AMDR of 25% to 35%.

Explanation for each option:

(A) An AMDR of 45% to 55%: This range is too high for fat intake in children. Such a high percentage of dietary fat is not recommended for young children as it could contribute to excessive calorie intake and potential weight gain.

(B) An AMDR of 20% to 30%: While this range is closer to the recommended values for adults, it is slightly lower than the recommended range for young children, who require a bit more fat in their diet for proper growth and development.

(C) An AMDR of 25% to 35%: This is the correct range for children aged 1 to 3 years. At this age, children need a higher percentage of their calories from fat compared to adults to support their rapid growth and brain development.

(D) An AMDR of 30% to 40%: This range is slightly higher than the recommended range for young children. While it might not be harmful, it is not the standard recommendation for this age group.

In summary, the acceptable macronutrient distribution range (AMDR) of fats for children aged 1 to 3 years is 25% to 35% of their total daily caloric intake.
