  4. D

Answer

Teenagers interested in nature and photography
The correct option is correct because the flyer explicitly addresses teenagers aged 12 to 18 who love taking pictures, establishing them as the primary target audience. The tone, prizes (art classes), and lack of professional requirements support this.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Scan the flyer for demographic markers such as age groups, pronouns, or specific descriptors.
The flyer begins by addressing 'a teenager aged 12 to 18 who loves taking pictures'.
This directly identifies the demographic group being invited to participate.
2
Check the requirements for participation, such as gear or experience.
The text notes that 'no prior experience or professional gear is needed'.
This eliminates professional photographers as the target group.
3
Analyze mentions of nature, birds, and plants to distinguish them from the target audience.
These elements are subjects for the photos, not descriptors of the target audience.
This helps avoid confusing secondary details with the primary audience.
