Answer 1

Hint:- Puberty is defined as the during of life at which boy and girl attain sexual maturity and become able to reproducing sexually-that brought by the production of sex hormones. It mostly occurs between the age of 10 to 14 for girls and 12 to 16 for boys. It induces physical changes to a person's body and affects boys and girls differently.

Complete Answer:-
Puberty is most affected by nutrition. Must avoid roadside spicy foods because these foods comprise high salt, saturated fat, low in fiber, and nutrients. Excessive consumption of these foods can raise the chance of overweight, obesity, and conditions like type-2 diabetes in teenagers. Must avoid more sweets because they are low in nutrients and high in sugars. So, they are responsible for causing weight gain, adiposity, and tooth decay. Due to obesity children undergo puberty in the early stage of life. Assist them to select healthy snacks for food options like fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, cheese, and low-fat yogurt. For the development of strong bones and teeth, calcium and vitamins are required in large amounts during the stage of puberty. A teenager requires about 1300 milligram calcium during the day. Iron is necessary for the teenager's muscle development. It also increases the volume of blood. So, girls require more iron, during their periods. Anaemia is induced by the deficiency of iron, which causes fatigue, confusion, and weakness.
Thus, the right option is C.

Note:- The demand for calories by the body during the early phase of puberty is more as compared to other phases of life. About 2,800 and 2,200 calories are required by the body of Boys and Girls per day respectively. Because of eating many processed foods and high-fat foods in an excessive quantity, men cause the beginning of puberty in girls at an early age.
