Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A Development, a continuous and orderly process, provides the basis for increases
in the child's function and complexity of behavior. The increases in rate of
function and complexity can vary normally within limits for each child.
B An increase in the number and size of cells is a definition for growth.
C Development proceeds in a proximodistal direction with fine muscle
organization occurring as a result of large muscle organization.
D Development is a more complex process that is affected by many factors;
therefore, it is less easily and accurately measured. Growth is a predictable
process with standard measurement methods.
