Compared with younger children and adults, adolescent fluid recommendations are best described as which of the following?

Higher than adults and younger children because adolescent kidneys are immature and require extra hydration to maintain electrolyte balance.

Lower than both younger children and adults because adolescents reduce spontaneous physical activity and therefore need less fluid.

Identical to younger children and adults because fluid needs are fixed per kilogram of weight and do not change with age category.

Higher than younger children but typically lower than adult recommendations, reflecting increased needs for growth but not yet the highest adult-level requirements.
