Answer
A
She might experience acne.
B
She might experience mood swings.
C
She might become uncomfortable with her body’s changes.
D
She might be treated as if she is younger than she actually is.
E
She might face increased expectations from adults.

Explanation

Puberty can bring physical changes such as acne and emotional changes such as mood swings. A girl who develops earlier than her peers may also feel uncomfortable with her changing body and may face increased expectations from adults because others perceive her as more mature. She is more likely to be treated as older, not younger, than she actually is, so D does not apply.
