Detailed Explanation
Understanding the Principle of Directional Trend
The 'Principle of Directional Trend' is a fundamental concept in child development and growth. It comprises two primary directions:

- Proximodistal Trend: Development proceeds from the center of the body outward toward the extremities. Children gain control of their torso and shoulders before mastering fine motor skills in their hands and fingers.
Therefore, option (b) correctly defines both academic terms within child development.
