Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 14-year-old female has adequate body fat stores (25%) at the end of SMR Stage 3, which means she has started and can support menses. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that her SMR rating is preventing her from starting menses even though she has adequate body fat stores. Option C is incorrect because it suggests that her body fat stores are limited, which contradicts the information given in the question. Option D is also incorrect because it only addresses her physical development, not her reproductive capabilities. Option E is irrelevant because the question does not mention anything about rapid weight gain.
