    C. The brain and skull reach their full adult sizes by 16 to 18 years of age
    Explanation
    The brain and skull reach their full adult sizes by 16 to 18 years of age. This is because during adolescence, the brain goes through a process called pruning, where unnecessary connections between neurons are eliminated to increase efficiency.

Therefore, by the age of 16 to 18, the brain has reached its maximum size and structural development.
