According to the information given, in the early twenty-first century, roughly 45% of American adolescents were from ethnic minority groups. Therefore, the correct answer must include this percentage. Only options A and D have 45% as a choice, so we can eliminate options B and C. Additionally, the question tells us that "by the end of the century" (which we can assume means the end of the twenty-first century), nearly all American adolescents will be non-White. The closest answer choice to this is D, which estimates that nearly 2/3 of American adolescents will be non-White. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
