Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
Peer group pressure is widely recognised as the most significant factor predisposing adolescents to drug abuse, as young people often experiment with substances to gain acceptance or avoid social exclusion. Parental supervision and quality education are protective factors that reduce the risk of drug abuse. Community service also fosters positive values rather than vulnerability.
