Explanation:

To determine the intended audience, we analyze the article's content about the body's circadian rhythm, teenage sleep patterns, and school start times. Option B (Adolescents and the adults who make decisions on their behalf) is correct because the article addresses how teens' circadian rhythms affect their sleep, which is relevant to teens themselves and the adults (like parents, school administrators) who make decisions for them. Option A is incorrect as the article doesn't focus on opposing a later start time. Option C is incorrect as the article isn't about generalized sleep loss research but teen sleep and school. Option D is incorrect as the article states teens don't get 10 - 11 hours, so it's not for those trying to get that much.

Answer:

B. Adolescents and the adults who make decisions on their behalf
