The correct option is A Hyper Option A: The word 'hyper' forms a new word with 'active': 'hyperactive'.
'Hyperactive' is a chronic condition that means 'abnormally or extremely active'. It relates to the given sentence in meaning: Children that are extremely active should be given more attention, as hyperactivity can cause other health issues. Hence, option A is correct.
Options B, C and D: The words 'ultra-active', 'sub-active' and 'trans-active' do not exist in the standard English language.
