d. "To prevent nutrient overdoses" is not a function of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)

Explanation:

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is part of the system of nutrition recommendations which is the Dietary Reference Intake. The RDA considers the daily dietary intake level of a nutrient considered sufficient, so its function is to meet nutritional needs, to reduce risk of disease and to prevent nutrient deficiencies. However, to prevent nutrient overdoses RDA is not the right one to use. In that case Tolerable upper intake levels (UL) is the correct is the correct reference value to avoid excessive intake of nutrients. For example, vitamin A can be harmful in excesive amounts.
