✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding the Principle of Directional Trend in Child Development
In the process of child development, the 'Principle of Directional Trend' clarifies that physical and motor development occurs in a definite sequence or direction. It comprises two main aspects:
- Cephalocaudal Trend: Development proceeds from the head downwards to the feet. An infant learns to control their head first, then the torso, and finally the legs.
- Proximodistal Trend: Development starts from the center of the body (or the spinal cord) and moves outward toward the periphery, eventually reaching the fingers and toes.
Therefore, Option A is the correct scientific explanation.
