Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Human development is divided into distinct stages based on age. Each stage has characteristic physical, cognitive, and social developments.

• Stages of Human Development:
  • Infancy (0-2 years): Babyhood—rapid physical growth, dependence on caregivers
  • Early Childhood (2-6 years): Childhood—preschool years, language development, independence growing
  • Middle Childhood (6-12 years): School age, logical thinking develops
  • Adolescence (13-19 years): Puberty, identity formation
  • Adulthood (20+ years): Maturity, independence
• Why 2-6 Years is Called Childhood:
  • This period is specifically referred to as "Early Childhood"
  • Characterized by:
    • Rapid language acquisition
    • Development of motor skills (running, jumping)
    • Socialization begins
    • Imagination and play become important
    • Toilet training typically completed

Why Other Options are Incorrect:

• (A) Baby hood: Refers to infancy (0-2 years), not 2-6 years.
• (C) Adolescence: Refers to teenage years (13-19 years), characterized by puberty.
• (D) Adult hood: Refers to mature years (20+ years), complete physical and mental maturity.
