Explanation:

The original sentence "For kids without an after - school activity can start to see troubling adolescent behavior" has a mixed construction. The phrase "For kids without an after - school activity" is a prepositional phrase and cannot act as the subject of the sentence. The option "When kids do not have an after - school activity, communities" provides a proper subject ("communities") and a correct subordinate clause ("When kids do not have an after - school activity") to make the sentence grammatically correct. The other option "For kids who do not have an after - school activity" still leaves the sentence without a proper subject.

Answer:

When kids do not have an after - school activity, communities
