• B.
  Increase in height of a mountain
• C.
  Increase in weight of a human
• D.
  Development of a plant from a seed

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Increase in height of a mountain

• Growth can either be an increase in height or an increase in weight in living organisms.
• The development of an adult plant from seed is an example of growth in plants.
• Even though non-living things seem to grow, it is just an accumulation of particles and not the actual growth.
