When does the teenage brain become its most mature?

At birth
At early adolescence
At late adolescence
At adulthood

The correct answer is: At late adolescence

During adolescence, the brain undergoes significant development and maturation. While the teenage brain may not reach full maturity until early adulthood, the majority of this process occurs during late adolescence, around the ages of 18-25. Option A is incorrect because the brain is not fully developed at birth, it continues to develop and change throughout childhood and into adolescence. Option B is incorrect because while the teenage brain does experience some development during early adolescence (ages 10-14), it is not considered the most mature during this stage. Option D is incorrect because the brain reaches its full maturity during late adolescence, before transitioning into adulthood.
