Increased risk of depression and anxiety
B
Lower likelihood of peer pressure

D
Higher academic achievement compared to peers
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of early maturation in girls, which refers to girls experiencing puberty-related physical and hormonal changes earlier than their peers.
Recognize that early maturation can have psychological and social effects, including emotional challenges and changes in peer relationships.
Recall research findings in developmental psychology that link early maturation in girls to increased vulnerability to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.
Consider why early maturation might not lead to lower peer pressure or delayed puberty-related changes, as these are inconsistent with the definition and effects of early maturation.
Evaluate the options and identify that increased risk of depression and anxiety is the most supported outcome based on psychological studies of early maturing girls.
