Solution

The correct option is C 25%, 50%
Adolescence is the developmental stage between childhood and adulthood. It is more than physical growth and sexual maturation (puberty or biological development). Growth during adolescence is linked to the hormonal changes of puberty. Girls usually enter puberty earlier than boys. It is found in various research studies that the growth in height and weight in adults during adolescence are :
Inches added to height = 25 percent of final adult height
Pounds added to weight = 50 percent of final adult weight.
So, the correct answer is "25%,50%".
