B) To screen for potential health problems

Ans: D
Feedback: The goal of health screening in the adolescent population has been to detect health problems at an early age so that they can be treated at this time. The other options are incorrect because the goal of health screening in the adolescent populations is not teaching teenagers about health risks, screening for potential health problems, or identifying chronic health problems and their risks.
