A    In this choice, the modifying phrase adjusted for body weight is incorrectly applied to children.

C    In this choice, the modifying phrase adjusted for body weight is incorrectly applied to various age groups of children.
D    In this choice, the modifying phrase adjusted for body weight is incorrectly applied to children of various age groups.
