Final answer:

Adolescent A is least likely to report a positive body image due to societal ideals of attractiveness and exposure to thin models.

Step-by-step explanation:

The adolescent who is most likely to report the least positive body image is Adolescent A. Body image concerns and disordered eating are influenced by various factors, including societal ideals of attractiveness. Research has shown that exposure to thin models may contribute to the development of eating disorders. Adolescents who do not fit the societal standard of beauty are more likely to have negative body image.

Therefore, if one of the adolescents in the options is, for example, an adolescent with obesity resulting in type 2 diabetes, they may be more prone to reporting a negative body image.
