Aram's mother has been helping him to walk by holding his hands and supporting him.Aram's legs are strong enough to hold him up,and he's able to move his legs in a coordinated way as long as his mother supports him.What else does Aram need in order to walk on his own?

A) muscle strength
B) brain maturation
C) practice
D) fine motor skills

Brain Maturation

The process by which the brain develops structurally and functionally, reaching full development.

Fine Motor Skills

Physical abilities involving small body movements, especially of the hands and fingers, such as drawing or picking up a coin. (The word fine here means “small.”)

Muscle Strength

indicates the capacity of a muscle or groups of muscles to exert force against resistance, often measured through maximal or dynamic efforts.

  • Recognize key stages in the evolution of sensory functions and motor abilities.
  • Comprehend the contribution of genetic and environmental influences in motor skill development.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Aram needs practice in order to develop the balance and coordination required to walk on his own. While muscle strength is important, Aram already has strong legs. Brain maturation is also important for motor development, but the fact that he is able to move his legs in a coordinated way suggests that his brain development is on track. Fine motor skills are not as relevant to walking.
