During which period of human development does the child gain independence?

Toddler
Adolescence
Infancy
Middle childhood

The correct answer is: Adolescence

Adolescence is the period of human development when children typically gain independence. During this period, children transition into adulthood and begin to establish their own identities, separate from their parents and families. The other options are incorrect because during the toddler stage, children are still heavily reliant on their parents for care and support. In infancy, children are completely dependent on their caregivers for all of their needs. And in middle childhood, children are still developing their sense of independence but are not yet fully independent.
