Ans: D
Self-concept and self-esteem are tied to body image many times. Adolescents who perceive their body as being different than peers or as less than ideal may view themselves negatively. Sexual characteristics are important to the adolescent's self-concept and body image. Authority figures, spirituality, and morals and values play a role in development of self-esteem, but body image is most influential in the development of self-concept/self-esteem.
