Solution

The correct option is C Mental illness.
Adolescence refers to the period of human growth that occurs between childhood and adulthood. It can be classified into three stages early, middle and late.
Middle adolescence is characterised by a need to establish sexual identity through becoming comfortable with one's own body and sexual feelings.
A mood swing is an extreme or rapid change in mood. It can occur as a symptom of psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder.
Mental illness is a diagnosis, of behavioural or mental pattern that may cause suffering or a poor ability to function in life. Such features may be persistent, relapsing and remitting.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
