Explanation:

The passage describes Niko (and presumably Nan) going to separate (likely new) environments (like summer camps) and Niko making many friends and signing up as a camp counselor, showing a new side of her. Option A is incorrect as there's no mention of pressure or failure. Option B is incorrect as the passage focuses on personal growth in a new environment, not learning hobbies. Option C is incorrect as there's no mention of competition between the sisters. Option D matches the idea of a new environment bringing out new qualities (like Niko's social and leadership qualities shown by making friends and becoming a counselor).

Answer:

D. A new environment can bring out new qualities in a person.
