A person who is in middle childhood development is most likely:

Entering puberty
Developing motor skills
Developing abstract thinking
Attending college

The correct answer is: Developing motor skills

Children in middle childhood, typically between the ages of 6-12, are primarily focused on developing their motor skills. This includes gross motor skills, such as running and jumping, as well as fine motor skills, such as writing and drawing. Entering puberty (option A) usually occurs in late childhood/early adolescence, around the ages of 9-12 for girls and 10-14 for boys. Developing abstract thinking (option C) generally occurs in adolescence, so it is not a characteristic of middle childhood. Attending college (option D) is usually reserved for young adults, so it is not applicable to middle childhood development. Therefore, the best answer is B Developing motor skills.
