As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the rate of obesity among adolescents (ages 12 to 19) in the United States is generally reported to be around 20.6% based on recent CDC data from 2017-2020. However, your options suggest a lower range. Among the choices provided, **d 15.5%** would be the closest estimate, but please verify with up-to-date resources to confirm the most current statistics.
