Which LD50 range corresponds to 1000 - 2500?

Explanation:
LD50 is the dose per body weight that would kill 50% of the exposed subjects, so it’s a direct measure of acute toxicity. When you’re told the LD50 lies within a specific range, you pick the bracket that matches that exact interval. If the data place the LD50 in the middle-to-higher portion of the toxicity scale, the corresponding range is the one that spans that interval. The other ranges describe doses that would place the substance outside the given interval—either much more toxic (lower doses) or much less toxic beyond the stated range—so they don’t fit the information provided.
