Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
As pre-teenage(age between 9 to 12) children enter into teenage, the significance of peer relationships increases drastically. By age 12, they start to define their self-worth in terms of what their peers think of them. This is a time of intense change in a pre-teen’s life. At this stage, their need to please adults gets replaced by the need for belonging and approval from peers. These young adolescents crave approval not from their family but from peers. They, usually, gain peer approval by openly rebelling parents and engaging in risk-taking.
