Answer 1

Answer:

D. Selecting and preparing for a vocation

Adolescence (ages 12–18) is a bridge between childhood and adulthood. During this time, one of the most critical societal expectations is for the teenager to begin thinking about their future career.

• Vocation/Career: Teens begin to explore their interests, skills, and values to decide on a career path (e.g., choosing subjects in school that lead to a specific college degree).

• Economic Independence: Preparing for a job is the first step toward the ultimate adolescent goal of becoming financially and emotionally independent from their parents.
