Answer 2

Hi!

Answer D would be the best option.

During the period of adolescence, which is generally between 13-19, the individual goes through a transitional period which is characterized by changes in emotional, physical and mental capacities.

These changes consequently result in the adolescents' desire to be more independent, and to govern their lives as how they deem more fitting, which results in the rebellious nature in the individual.

The other options include characteristics that MAY be seen in individuals, but is not a defining characteristic of adolescence and is not very common.

Hope this helps.
