C) Teenagers are able to think in the abstract.

Adolescents are risk-takers. This enables them to overcome common sense and their own better judgment. Although adolescents are capable of abstract thinking and understand that actions have consequences, they are not yet committed to these attributes. Changing body image would not have significant influence on the presentation.
