Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The growth rate is not uniform, but it is different at different period of life. So, the growth is differential. In human beings, the muscles show maximum growth, i.e. from 0.8 kg in newly born body to 30 kg in adult, while brain shows minimum growth, i.e. from 0.4 kg in newly born body to 1 kg in adult, from birth to adulthood.
