Adolescents are most likely to engage in risk taking behaviors when:

  1. Without parental supervision

  2. Sequestered from peers

  3. Following adult guidance

  4. With socially mature peers

The correct answer is: Without parental supervision

Adolescents are most likely to engage in risk taking behaviors when they are not under parental supervision. This is because adolescents are at an age where they are seeking independence and may feel constrained by parental rules. They may also be more easily influenced by their peers without parental guidance, leading them to engage in risky behaviors. As for the other options, being sequestered from peers or following adult guidance may provide a sense of security and may not lead to risk taking behaviors. Being with socially mature peers may actually have a positive influence on adolescents and lead them to make more responsible decisions.
