Explanation:

During middle and late childhood, weight gain is mainly due to the increase in the size of certain body organs as part of normal growth and development. A decrease in physical activity can contribute but is not the primary cause. The skeletal system generally grows rather than decreases in size during this period. Nutritional changes can affect weight but are not the main reason for normal - growth - related weight gain.

Answer:

O increase in the size of certain body organs
