Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
School age children's fine motor skills advance to the point where they can write letters and numbers with increasing control and precision. Dodging a ball and performing a somersault rely more on gross motor skills, while throwing a ball with one hand requires more hand-eye coordination than fine motor control.
