Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies show that girls living in developed countries, like the United States, experience menarche earlier than girls in impoverished countries.

The age of menarche can vary widely, but on average it occurs around age 12 in the United States, so Option B is not correct. Option D is unlikely as it suggests both girls will experience menarche at a much later age than the average. Option A is incorrect because it is not known if Reggia will experience menarche before Kikee specifically, only that girls in impoverished countries tend to experience it later.
