Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Studies have shown that adolescents are about as likely to engage in oral sex as they are to engage in vaginal intercourse. Both activities are common among this age group. However, there is some variation in terms of gender and sexual orientation. For example, females are more likely than males to report receiving oral sex and gay and bisexual youth are more likely to engage in oral sex than heterosexual youth. The statement in option D is not accurate, as there is no evidence to support it.
