• B. Growth
• C. Physical changes
• D. Development

Answer 1

The correct option is D Development

Development occurs when there is orderly and progressive changes in a human being due to maturation and experience while growth refers to structural and physiological changes, development is concerned with growth as well as those changes in behaviour which result from environmental situation. Development is thus a more inclusive term which has another element called 'maturation'. When measured qualitatively as well that is, in terms of skills, it becomes development.
