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 acne and mood changes, and a ten-year-old who develops earlier than her peers may feel uncomfortable or self-conscious about her changing body. Adults may also expect her to act more maturely because she looks older, even though she is still ten. Being treated as younger than she is is not a typical difficulty of early puberty, so D does not apply.
