Which option best represents the complete set of risk factors discussed?

• A. Misperception of peer norms
• B. Loss of positive body image
• C. Loss of parents
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Risk factors are often multifaceted, involving several influences that can raise someone’s likelihood of engaging in risky behavior. The material names three drivers: misperception of peer norms, which can cause someone to imitate what they wrongly think is common or accepted; loss of positive body image, which can lead to distress and unhealthy coping or behaviors; and loss of parents, which introduces additional stress and can weaken protective support systems. Since all three were identified as risks, the complete set includes every factor discussed. Focusing on just one would miss other pathways the material highlighted, whereas “All of the above” captures every factor covered.
