Which of the following is TRUE about physical development?

It is the predominant stage of development in early infancy
It shows the most rapid rate of development
It is the least affected by environmental influences
It is the most crucial stage of development

The correct answer is: It shows the most rapid rate of development

Physical development in early infancy is not the predominant stage of development, as cognitive and social development are also occurring at this time. While physical development may seem rapid during infancy, it actually occurs more rapidly during the prenatal period. Environmental factors can greatly impact physical development, for example, malnutrition or exposure to toxins can limit growth and development. While physical development is important, it is not necessarily more crucial than other stages of development as all areas of development are interconnected and equally important for overall well-being. Therefore, the correct answer is B It shows the most rapid rate of development.
