A1, 3, 4 and 5 only
B3 and 4 only
C2, 3 and 5 only
D1 and 2 only ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 1 and 2 only — Uniform physical development and stable self-concepts are not adolescent traits, so the answer is 1 and 2.
Explanation
★Uniform physical development and stable self-concepts are not adolescent traits, so the answer is 1 and 2.
★Adolescence is a period of rapid and uneven change.
★Physical development is varied and uneven, not uniform, so statement 1 is not a trait.
★Self-concept is still forming and unstable, so statement 2 is not a trait.
★Adolescents do experience mood swings, high aspirations and peer pressure.
★So the two that are not characteristics are statements 1 and 2.
