Answer:

The answer is a.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Caryn matured earlier when compared with her friend Wendy, she is more likely to have a higher body mass index than Wendy. This is true because body mass index is a function of weight and height and since Caryn matured earlier, she is more likely to weigh more and be taller than Wendy therefore having a higher body mass index when compared with Wendy. Body mass index (BMI) = Weight/
Height^(2) the units are in kg/
m^(2). Options c and d are not correct because education and occupational level has nothing to do with maturity
