D Correct answer
Explanation

Dietary allowance concepts include RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance), Adequate Intake (AI), and Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL). Food intake according to the upper limit of RDA is NOT a valid concept - UL is separate from RDA and represents the maximum safe intake, not a target intake level.
