Final answer:

One serving of almonds contains 2% of the RDA of carbohydrates, meaning the full RDA is 50 times this amount. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, the total recommended daily allowance of carbohydrates is 250 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking for the total recommended daily allowance (RDA) of carbohydrates. To calculate this, we start with the information that one serving of almonds provides 2% of the RDA of carbohydrates. Since this serving equates to 2% of the total RDA, we can set up a simple proportion to find the full 100% RDA:

2% of RDA = One serving of almonds carbohydrates

100% of RDA = Total RDA of carbohydrates

If 2% is equivalent to one serving of almonds and if we assume that one serving of almonds has a known carbohydrate content (which we would need to know to solve this problem), then we can multiply the amount of carbohydrates per serving by 50 (since 2% times 50 equals 100%) to find the total recommended daily allowance.

However, based on the provided information that 300g of carbohydrates constitute the 100% RDA for a 2,000 calorie diet, we can directly infer that the correct answer is:

(c) 250 grams
