B. Animals and humans all go through a necessary phase of adolescence.

By Duncan Strauss, the article "Animal Adolescence is Filled with Teen Drama and Peer Pressure" discusses the similarity human teenagers and animal teenagers have.
<u>Throughout the article, the author mentions different kinds of animals - elephants, dolphins, even birds and wolves - and explains how they all have some things in common among themselves and with humans</u>: during their adolescence period, all of them show risky and reckless behaviors; they all enjoy socializing with other adolescents; and their moods and preferences are frustrating to the older members of their packs or families, etc.
<u>This phase is necessary for humans as well as animals. Although tragic consequences may ensue - an animal can get killed, for example -, it is during adolescence that they all learn and develop skills that will keep them safer as adults.</u>
