Final Answer :
A, B, C, D
Explanation :
Suicide is a major leading cause of death in adolescents 15 to 24 years of age. Adolescent overweight and obesity are current concerns in the United States, and most teens try dieting at some time to control weight. Unfortunately the number of eating disorders is on the rise in adolescent girls. Homicide is the second leading cause of death in the 15- to 24-year-old age-group, and for African-American teenagers it is the most likely cause of death. Sexually transmitted diseases annually affect three million sexually active adolescents. Gonadotropic hormones stimulate ovarian cells to produce estrogen and testicular cells to produce testosterone. These hormones are normally occurring and contribute to the development of secondary sex characteristics, such as hair growth and voice changes, and play an essential role in reproduction. It is not a health concern.
