B. One Serving provides 10 Percent of the daily amount for a particular nutrient.

Explanation:

On food labels, when there is percentage information on the daily value of a nutrient, this means that if you feed on that portion, you will get that percentage value (in this case 10%) of the total daily required of that nutrient for a human being. This way, you will still lack the remaining (in this case 90%) of the nutrient so you get the total needed to maintain nutritional balance.

For example, if in a package of peanuts you see information that this portion provides 10% of daily protein values, you can eat it and get the other 90% from another protein source, such as eggs and meat.

Nutritional information on packaging is important and should be followed to ensure you maintain a healthy and nutrient-balanced diet.
