Explanation:

During pregnancy, especially in the second trimester, there is an increased need for calcium. Milk is a good source of calcium. Adolescents already have high nutrient demands for growth, and pregnancy further increases these needs. Middle - aged adults (even with night shift work), new parents (as they are not consuming the milk themselves for increased calcium during a physiological state like pregnancy), and older adults (unless with specific conditions like severe osteoporosis which is not indicated here) do not have the same increased calcium requirement due to pregnancy as the adolescent in the second trimester of pregnancy.

Answer:

adolescent who is in the second trimester of pregnancy
