Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
ADHD is commonly diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, with symptoms appearing before the age of 12 in most cases. Therefore, the age range of 4 to 17 is the most likely period for an ADHD diagnosis. While ADHD can also be diagnosed in adulthood, it is less common and often involves different symptoms and challenges than those seen in childhood-onset ADHD.
