Correct answer: (C) 1, 3 & 4 only

Explanation

Intellectual development traits of adolescents are imagination, thinking and reasoning, and span of attention, so 1, 3 and 4 fit.

Abstract emotions are an emotional trait, not an intellectual one.

Imagination expands and becomes more creative in adolescence.

Reasoning grows abstract and logical in this stage.

Attention span lengthens, allowing sustained mental effort.

Piaget's formal operational stage explains this rise in abstract thought.
