Children with increasing _____ gain coordination.

• A. Muscle alignment
• B. Weight
• C. Height
• D. Muscle strength

Answer: (D)

Coordination improves as the muscles become stronger. When muscles gain strength, they can control movement more precisely and with better timing, which helps different body parts work together smoothly. This extra control stabilizes joints, reduces extraneous movement, and makes coordinated actions—like running, jumping, catching, and throwing—feel more fluid. Height and weight are growth-related and can affect performance indirectly, but they don’t inherently create better coordination the way increasing muscle strength does.
