Solution

The correct option is C Widening of waists
The physical changes that occur in boys during puberty are:
  • Increase in height due to bone elongation.
  • Develop broader shoulder and arms due to muscle growth.
  • The larynx gets bigger and the vocal chords grow longer, thus developing Adam's apple. This leads to a deeper voice in boys.
