How does physical development typically progress during middle adulthood?

Quickly
Disproportionately
Unexpectedly
Gradually

The correct answer is: Gradually

Physical development in middle adulthood typically progresses gradually. This means that changes in physical appearance, health, and abilities tend to occur slowly over time. This is different from the other options provided. Option A states that physical development progresses quickly, which is incorrect because the changes are not sudden or rapid. Option B states that physical development is disproportionate, which is incorrect because this implies that certain aspects of development occur more or less than others, when in reality they progress in a balanced manner. Option C states that physical development is unexpected, which is incorrect because while some changes may be unexpected, overall the process is a predictable and natural part of aging.
