Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Questions A, B, and D are directly related to factors that could predict a challenging adolescence, such as issues with emotion regulation, feeling alienated from parents, and living in an environment that encourages risky behavior. Being "highly emotional" is a broader and more general trait that can manifest in both positive and negative ways during adolescence, making it less specific to predicting a "stormy adolescence" compared to the other options.
