Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The sequential design combines elements of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs by following multiple age cohorts over time. This allows for examination of both age-related and cohort-related effects, and can help to disentangle the influences of maturation, historical events, and cohort-specific experiences on development.
