Correct Answer: Both I and II


Solution : The correct answer is Both I and II .

Both the statements given in the question are correct.

Rapid physical, social, mental, and emotional changes characterise adolescence. Adolescents require more nutrients than adults because this is when they gain at least 40% of their adult weight and 15% of their adult height.

Inadequate intake can cause sexual development to be delayed and linear growth to be slowed. Therefore, Statement 1 is correct.

Adolescents are traditionally classified as those aged 10 to 19 years. Therefore, Statement 2 is correct.
