Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A critical period of development refers to a specific phase or period when the presence of a function or reasoning has its greatest effect on a specific aspect of development.For example,if a child does not walk by the age of 20 months,there is delayed gross motor ability,which slows exploration and manipulation of the environment.The success or failure experienced within a phase affects the child's ability to complete the next phases.
