Solution
The correct option is D Digestion
A developmental process in an organism is defined as a progressive change in size, shape and function during its lifetime in which the genotypes are translated into phenotypes. Cell division leads to an increase in cell number and hence an organism's growth. Differentiation is the process in which a cell changes from one cell type to another.Maturation is defined as the process in which an organism grows.All of the above are developmental processes. Digestion is a process in which food is broken down into simple forms that can be used by the body. It leads to development but itself is not a developmental process. Thus the correct answer is option D.
