c. elliot always studies very hard, has a high gpa, and scores the highest on tests. he knows hes much smarter than all his classmates, who call him a nerd.

Explanation:

To determine mental and emotional health, we assess balance in activities, relationships, and self - perception:

• For Anna (Option A): She doesn't care about grades, and her friends just copy her. This shows a lack of balance in academic responsibility and a potentially shallow social dynamic, so she isn't the healthiest.
• For Chris (Option B): He balances school work (good grades), physical activity (tennis lessons), and social relationships (strong bonds with friends). This well - roundedness indicates good mental and emotional health.
• For Elliot (Option C): He has a high GPA but thinks he's much smarter than classmates, and is called a “nerd” by them. This shows a negative social perception and an inflated self - view, lacking social and emotional balance.

Answer:

B. Chris takes tennis lessons and hangs out with friends after finishing his school work. He gets good grades, enjoys tennis, and has strong bonds with his friends.
