Answer:

The correct answer out of all of these choices is B, "Children have a lot of medical issues that adults do not."

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because children's bodies are much more at risk of diseases and injuries thanks to their low exposure to diseases and thus lower resistance to said diseases as adults do. Children's bodies are also much less durable than adults, so it's easier for them to get injured.
