What are the physical stages of puberty that take place in boys and girls?

  1. Cognitive and moral

  2. Social and psychological

  3. Primary and secondary

  4. Imaginative and creative

The correct answer is: Primary and secondary

During puberty, there are two main stages of physical changes that take place in both boys and girls - primary and secondary. Option A, cognitive and moral stages, refers to changes in one's thinking and understanding of right and wrong, but these changes are not necessarily related to physical development. Option B, social and psychological stages, refers to changes in one's relationships and emotions, but again, are not specific to physical changes. Option D, imaginative and creative stages, is also not related to physical development. Thus, although these options may be important during puberty, they are not the primary focus when discussing the physical changes of puberty.
