Correct answer: D
Concept
Adolescence is a transitional stage marked by rapid but uneven biological change, continuing identity formation, stronger peer influence, emotional variability, and growing future orientation. A proposed characteristic should therefore be judged by whether it reflects developmental change and variability rather than uniformity or completed stability.
Application
Apply that principle to each statement:
Physical development does not proceed uniformly: the timing and tempo of puberty vary across individuals.
Self-concept is still being formed and revised through experience, identity exploration, and social comparison, so it is not generally stable.
Mood swings and emotional turbulence can accompany hormonal, cognitive, and social changes.
Adolescents commonly develop hopes and aspirations as their capacity for future planning grows.
Peer groups become more salient, increasing susceptibility to peer influence and pressure.
Cross-check and contrast
Only statements A and B assert uniformity or stability where adolescent development is typically variable and ongoing.
A, C, D and E only combines the physical-uniformity claim with emotional variability, future aspiration, and peer influence.
C and D only groups two commonly observed emotional and motivational features.
B, C and E only combines the stability claim with emotional variability and peer influence.
A and B only contains the two claims that conflict with uneven maturation and continuing identity formation.
Result
Therefore, the statements that are not characteristics are A and B only.
