Explanation:

First Question (Best support for "AI’s effects on children will be different from the effects of social media on children")

To support the statement that AI's effects on children differ from social media's, we need a sentence that highlights a unique aspect of AI's impact. Option D says AI complements a deeper need (attachment, feeling emotions), which implies a different effect than social media (which may not focus on this deep - seated need). Option A is about development time, not AI vs social media effects. Option B is about Robb's worry on AI and teens' development, not comparing to social media. Option C is about social media/platforms' negative content, not AI's unique effect.

To show AI chatbot usage is common among high school students, we need data on usage. Option B states "more than 70 percent of teenagers said they have used AI companions", which directly shows a high usage rate. Option A is about advocating healthy use, not usage rate. Option C is about chatbots' features, not usage. Option D is about a perception of talking to AI, not usage.

The central idea should cover the main topic of the article. The article is about teens and AI. Option C says "Teens use AI for emotional support and decision - making", which focuses on teens' use of AI. Option A is about AI industry growth, not the main focus on teens. Option B is about some AI platforms' negative content, a minor point. Option D is about psychology and neuroscience, not related to the article's main topic on teens and AI.

Answer:

D. "I think AI complements another need that runs a lot deeper—our need for attachment and our need to feel emotions," he said.
