Answer:

C. Emotional stability

Read Explanation:

Adolescence is a period of significant physical, psychological, and social change: 

  • Physical changes

    Adolescents experience rapid growth spurts, voice changes, and other physical changes. 

  • Cognitive development

    Adolescents develop the ability to think abstractly, reason logically, and solve complex problems. 

  • Emotional changes

    Adolescents experience heightened emotions, mood swings, and increased self-awareness. 

  • Identity formation

    Adolescents explore different roles, values, and beliefs to establish their identity. 

  • Social changes

    Adolescents develop more complex relationships, and friendships become more important. 

  • Career consciousness

    Adolescents begin to understand their career preferences and what they want to do with their lives. 

  • Sexual attraction

    Adolescents start to notice others and desire romantic relationships. 

  • Appearance consciousness

    Adolescents become more concerned with their appearance and how others see them. 

  • Brain development

    Adolescent brains are malleable, forming and reforming neural connections in response to new experiences. 

Adolescence is a phase of life, not a fixed time period. Adolescents are not a homogenous group, and their needs vary based on their sex, stage of development, life circumstances, and socio-economic conditions.

Emotional stability is a personality trait that describes a person's ability to regulate their emotions and remain calm and resilient in the face of challenges. It's the opposite of the personality trait "neuroticism", which describes how much negative affect, mood fluctuation, and emotional volatility a person displays. 

People who are emotionally stable tend to:

  • Be calm, composed, and stress-resistant

  • Be confident and not easily provoked or disheartened by setbacks

  • Have a consistent mood from day to day 

People who are less emotionally stable tend to: Have frequent feelings of anxiety, Lack self-confidence, Be sensitive and easily worried, and Get low-spirited or depressed more easily. 

Emotional stability influences a person's ability to cope with stress, resist impulses, and adapt to change
