Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early-maturing boys tend to have a more positive self-image than their late-maturing peers because they are more physically developed and can excel in certain physical activities, such as sports. This can contribute to their overall sense of confidence and self-worth. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because early-maturing boys are not necessarily rejected by their peers. Option B is incorrect because early-maturing boys tend to have a more positive self-image, not a negative one. Option D is unsupported by the information given in the question.
