Development is the process of growth and change; which pair best completes this description?

• A. Reasoning; growth
• B. Growth; life
• C. Growth; change
• D. Reasoning; change

Answer: (C)

Development in physical education refers to the progression of a person’s physical status over time, including both increases in size or capacity (growth) and alterations in abilities, form, or function (change). The pair that completes the description is Growth and Change, because development involves not only getting larger or more capable but also transforming in how one moves and performs. The other options don’t fit as well: reasoning is a mental process, not about physical development; life is too broad to describe a specific process; change alone doesn’t capture the growth aspect.
