\she had named me... after herself.\
\so we shared the same name.\
\of all her babies... i was the best behaved.\
\adolescence was a full - fledged war.\

Explanation:

The central idea of the passage revolves around the rocky relationship (especially during adolescence) between the author and her mother. The quotation "Adolescence was a full - fledged war" directly supports this central idea as it emphasizes the conflict - filled nature of the author's adolescence in relation to her mother. The other options either talk about the naming (not central to the relationship conflict) or a temporary good behavior (not the main idea).

Answer:

D. "Adolescence was a full - fledged war."
