Letter D is the correct asnwer.

As a matter of fact, both boys and girls are likely to experience negative events during adolescence that can result in anger, changes in behavior or even depression. The way adolescents respond to undesired events may seem out of proportion at times due to their inability to control the intensity of their emotions. Moodiness is very common in early adolescence, but girls are moodier and more vulnerable to depression than boys are.
