Othman Ahmed Al-Amoudi · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Critical periods are points in development when certain experiences are necessary for normal development to occur. If these experiences are missed or disrupted during this critical period, it can have a major impact on development. Examples of critical periods in human development include language acquisition and visual development. Fetal periods refer specifically to the time when the embryo develops into a fetus in the uterus. Germinal periods refer to the very early stages of development from fertilization to implantation, while latency periods refer to a stage in child development characterized by a temporary decrease in interest in sex and relationships.
