Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C.
Delinquent behaviors would be illegal if committed by adults. Unruly behaviors should not be committed, but are not crimes if committed by adults.

In Georgia juvenile law, delinquent behavior refers to actions that are considered crimes (such as theft or assault) if committed by an adult, while unruly behavior (such as truancy or running away from home) is not considered a crime if the same actions are committed by an adult.
