Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Puberty is the stage during which sexual functions reach maturity, including the development of secondary sex characteristics such as breast growth, pubic hair, and sperm production. The growth spurt and maturation may occur during this stage, but they are not specifically related to sexual function. Pubescence is not a commonly used term in this context.
