In which life stage would you expect someone to first develop their gross motor skills?

Correct Answer

A. Infancy (0-2)

Explanation

During infancy (0-2), individuals experience rapid growth and development. This is the stage where they first develop their gross motor skills, such as crawling, sitting, standing, and eventually walking. Infants gradually gain control over their muscles and learn to coordinate their movements, which is crucial for their physical development. Therefore, it is expected that gross motor skills are first developed during this early stage of life.
