Show Worked Solution
  • A is correct as media influence shapes perceptions about food, while peer group norms strongly affect teenage behaviour, including food choices.

Other options:

  • B is incorrect as political structures and language barriers, while sociocultural factors, are not the most direct influences on teenage dietary choices.
  • C is incorrect as these factors relate to socioeconomic and environmental determinants rather than sociocultural ones.
  • D is incorrect as these are environmental factors rather than sociocultural determinants of health.
