Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During adolescence, there is a shift in the circadian rhythm which makes teenagers temporarily act like "owls," meaning they tend to stay up later at night and have difficulty waking up early in the morning. This shift is due to the delayed release of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep, in the adolescent brain. Therefore, choice D is the best option as it describes this phenomenon.
