I would say that B) Malala displays the characteristics of both capable activist and a bright young girl. While she can participate in high level meetings, she also still loves enjoying herself and eating ice cream and watching ordinary videos for relaxation.

The correct answer is B. Malala displays the characteristics of both capable activist and a bright young girl.

Step-by-step explanation:

Malala Yousafzai is a young activist from Pakistan that supports human rights and education for women and children, she is mainly known for being the youngest person in winning the Nobel Prize. In the excerpt presented, one reporter called Elick describes the way he discovers while interacting with Malala he founds she has the preferences of any other common girl including her like for ice cream and American sitcoms, which the author finds funny and interesting as he realizes even though she is an important activists and deals with important issues, she is still a girl. This shows the perspective of Adam Ellicks is that Malala displays the characteristics of both capable activist and a bright young girl, considering Ellick realizes Malala has the characteristics of a common girl but despite this is able to be an activist.
