Explanation:

Question 37

Adolescents, compared to school - aged children, generally have more access to outside foods (e.g., can go to cafes, vending machines more independently), start driving (when old enough), have more freedom (in decision - making and movement), and may have their own money (from jobs or allowances). So all the options apply.

Carotenoids are antioxidants and are associated with reducing the risk of cataracts, not increasing it. So the statement is false.

Adolescent diets often have high fat (from fast food, snacks), high sodium (processed foods), high sugar (sodas, candies), and high cholesterol (from fried and fatty foods). Calcium is often deficient in adolescent diets as they need it for bone growth and may not consume enough dairy or calcium - rich foods.

Answer:

E. All of the above
