Aphysically strong
Bmaturationally ready
Csocially active
Dmentally alert
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. maturationally ready
1. Walking and sitting depend on a physical structure that develops on a timetable.
2. Special efforts to accelerate these behaviours do not help if the infant is maturationally not ready.
3. So readiness limits what training can do.
