It looks like diventare is a motion verb. For motion verbs, essere is always the auxiliary verb used in the passato prossimo. A list of 15 motion verbs is here: https://quizlet.com/130647908/italian-verbs-of-motion-flash-cards/
"Diventare" is more common, you can always use it.
"Divenire" is used less often. I wouldn't learn the cases where you can or can't use it, and would rather stick to "diventare"

Bambina was marked wrong. This sentence in no way suggests the girl in question is a teenager. I almost never consider DL to be 'wrong', but I think they are wrong on this one. :-(
