The average daily caloric intake varies based on factors such as age, sex, weight, height, and level of physical activity. However, general recommendations suggest:

  • For adult women: about 1,800 to 2,400 calories per day.
  • For adult men: about 2,200 to 3,000 calories per day.

Given the options you provided, 2,000 calories is typically considered a standard estimate for daily caloric intake for an average adult, especially for women. Therefore, the best response is:

2,000.
