Explanation:
1. This is using the formula 50 kcal/g/day, which is not sufficient for this infant's growth.
2. This is using the formula 100 kcal/g/day, which is not sufficient for this infant's growth.
3. This is using the formula 140 kcal/g/day, which is appropriate for this infant's growth.
4. This is using the formula 180 kcal/g/day, which is too many calories for this infant's weight and size to support normal growth.
