A longitudinal study on youth violence tracked risk factors at ages 10, 14, and 16. The findings related to peer influences showed that association with delinquent peers was a consistent predictor at all three ages, while gang membership only emerged as a significant predictor at ages 14 and 16. Which statement best analyzes this developmental pattern?

A longitudinal study on youth violence identified two key peer-related risk factors, measured at ages 10, 14, and 16. The study found that 'delinquency among peers' was a significant predictor of later violence at all three ages. In contrast, 'gang membership' was found to be a significant predictor only at ages 14 and 16. Which of the following statements best analyzes the developmental pattern of these two risk factors?
