    B). The amount of ADHD in the population has increased tenfold since it was first identified.

    Explanation:

    ADHD is described as the 'Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder' that exemplifies a chronic medical condition in which the individual faces hyperactivity and persevering lack of attention that often leads to impulsiveness.

    As per the question, option B displays the incorrect reason for which ADHD could be overdiagnosed as it merely shares a conclusion of analysis and not associated with the overdiagnosis of the disorder. The other options exemplify the reasons that lead to over-diagnoses of ADHD as greater awareness and excessively quick medications and too much exposure to technology may lead to the overdiagnosis. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
