please select the best answer from the choices provided.

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Supervised strength training is appropriate in adolescence as this is a period of physical development where such training, under supervision, can be safely introduced to support muscle development and bone health. Toddlerhood and middle childhood are too early (with toddlers having underdeveloped motor skills and middle childhood not being the optimal start for strength training in the same way), and adulthood is not the developmental age range when it first becomes appropriate (as the question focuses on the developmental stage when it starts to be appropriate).

Answer:

C. adolescence
