B3, 4

C2, 3, 5

D1, 2 ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) 1, 2

Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are not characteristics of adolescent learners, since adolescence brings change, not uniformity, and an unstable, not stable, self-concept.

Statement 1, uniformity in the physical environment, is false because adolescents undergo rapid physical growth and change.

Statement 2, stable self-concepts, is false as identity is still forming and shifting in adolescence.

Statement 3, frequent mood swings and emotional turmoil, is a true adolescent trait.

Statements 1V and V, high aspirations and strong peer-group pressure, are genuine adolescent characteristics.

Erikson terms this stage identity versus role confusion.
