Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2023 Home Science Question Paper (13-Dec-2023) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

B, C and E only

This question asks specifically about the social characteristics of adolescents, which must be distinguished from their cognitive/intellectual characteristics.
Group loyalty (B) is a social characteristic: adolescents strongly identify with their peer group and value belonging to it, often prioritizing group norms and loyalty over individual preference.
Development of leadership (C) is a social characteristic: as adolescents gain confidence and social skills, many begin to take on leadership roles within their peer groups, clubs, or teams.
Increase in friendly relationships (E) is a social characteristic: adolescence is marked by an expansion of friendships and social bonds outside the family, as peer relationships become central to the adolescent's social life.
Development of imagination (A) and development of memory (D), however, are cognitive/intellectual characteristics related to mental abilities and thought processes, not to social behavior or relationships with others. Including them would confuse the domain of development being asked about.
Since only B, C, and E genuinely describe social characteristics of adolescents, the correct answer is B, C and E only.
