Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Fine motor skills involve small body movements and the coordination of small muscles. These skills are important for tasks such as writing, buttoning clothes, and manipulating small objects. Brain damage may affect fine motor skills, but the development of fine motor skills does not require brain damage. Producing large movements would involve gross motor skills. The number of muscles used is not a defining characteristic of fine motor skills.
