Muscular control spreads in a pattern from head to toe, according to the

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cephalocaudal pattern refers to the pattern of growth and muscular control spreading from the head to the toes, which is why the correct answer is C. The zone of proximal development and adaptive gradient are not related to this specific pattern of muscular control. While the proximodistal pattern also refers to the spread of growth and control, it goes from the center of the body outwards, rather than from top to bottom, making it an incorrect choice for this question.
