The age range of 12-22 is used to describe which group?

• A. Adults
• B. Adolescents
• C. Seniors
• D. Infants

Answer: (B)

Adolescents. This age span covers the period between childhood and adulthood, when most people go through puberty, rapid physical and cognitive changes, and steps toward greater independence and identity formation. The range starts at 12, which is typical for adolescence, and ends around 22, which can still fall within late adolescence or early adulthood depending on the definition. Infants are much younger, adults are generally older and fully responsible in adulthood, and seniors are older adults. So this age range fits adolescence best.
