The most characteristics feature of an adolescent learner which determines his/her social and moral development is the
Concern for hero worshipping for emulating values and standards
Adolescence is a stage of rapid physical, emotional, social and moral change. A defining psychological feature of this stage is the search for ideals and models. Adolescents tend to idolise and identify with heroes, famous personalities or admired adults, and through this hero worship they internalise the values, ideals and standards of conduct those figures represent. This process of emulation is central to how their social conduct and moral sense develop, because the admired figure becomes a reference point for right and wrong behaviour.
Therefore the concern for hero worship as a means of emulating values and standards is the characteristic feature that most directly determines an adolescent's social and moral development.
Why the other options are weaker:
A tendency to move away from parents reflects the drive for independence, but it explains detachment rather than the positive formation of values and moral standards.
Simply mixing with peers in the neighbourhood describes social contact, yet by itself it does not specifically account for moral development the way value emulation through admired models does.
Identity crisis (Erikson's identity versus role confusion) is indeed an adolescent phenomenon, but it names the broad developmental conflict of the stage rather than the specific mechanism that shapes social and moral values, which is the modelling of admired heroes.
Correct answer: Concern for hero worshipping for emulating values and standards
