D.

Explanation:

Adolescents tend to develop certain addictions such as drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc. Adolescent can be a person between the age of 10-19 years. This age is vulnerable, as people at this age tend to have peer pressures and a desire to fit in the group.

At this age, adolescents tend to experiment with many things that they find amusing and thrilling. And drug experimentation is one of them. This habit in adolescents should not be avoided at any cost as they are prone to consume heavy doses of drugs also which make them permanently disable or even, in certain cases, to death.

So, from the given options, the correct one is D.
