<em>Answer:</em>

<em>His prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.    </em><em> </em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The "prefrontal cortex" </em><em>is also written as "PFC" and is defined as the "cerebral cortex" that covers the front part of a person's frontal lobe of the brain. The prefrontal cortex is being implemented or is significant in planning or developing personality expression, moderating social behavior, complex cognitive behavior, and decision-making process, etc. </em>

<em>A person's prefrontal cortex</em><em> is being fully-developed or matured at the age of twenty-five years and therefore an adolescent has underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. </em>

<em>As per the question, Xavier's poor decision making is due to the fact that his prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.</em>
