Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the first choice in treatment for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (formerly known as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis).

Choice B is incorrect as juvenile idiopathic arthritis does not necessarily progress to adult rheumatoid arthritis.
Choice D is incorrect as physical activity should be encouraged in children with arthritis to maintain joint mobility and overall health.
