The period of adolescence typically begins around 12 years old and lasts until around 19 years old. Therefore, choice D (12-19 years) is the best answer option. Choice A (11-13 years) is too narrow and does not encompass the entirety of adolescence. Choice B (13-15 years) is also too narrow and does not include the later teenage years. Choice C (10-15 years) is too broad and includes some ages that are not typically considered adolescence.
