Explanation:

Question 9

In human growth and development, adolescence (the teenage years) is a period of significant growth. Typically, adolescence contributes about 25% of the adult body height. This is because during puberty, there is a growth spurt where individuals gain a substantial portion of their final adult height. The other options (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%) are too low to represent the typical contribution of the adolescent growth spurt to adult height.

Hypertension (high blood pressure), Type 2 diabetes, and elevated cholesterol are common health risks associated with overweight and obesity in children. These conditions are related to metabolic changes and increased fat mass. Cirrhosis of the liver is more commonly associated with long - term alcohol abuse, viral hepatitis, or other liver - specific diseases rather than being a direct risk of childhood overweight/obesity. So the condition that overweight and obese children are not at risk of developing (among the given options) is cirrhosis of the liver.

Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge - eating disorder often have their onset during the adolescent years, particularly between 13 and 17 years old. This is a time of significant physical, psychological, and social changes, including body image concerns, which can contribute to the development of eating disorders. So the statement "Most eating disorders occur between 13 and 17 years old" is true.
