Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the definition of human development. Human development is a lifelong process that starts at conception (fertilization) and continues throughout the entire human lifespan, including infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age.

• The first option is incorrect as development does not end at adolescence.
• The third option is incorrect as development does not end at adulthood.
• The fourth option is incorrect as development starts at conception, not adolescence.
• The second option correctly states that development begins at conception and continues through the human life span.

Answer:

B. begins at conception and continues through the human life span. (Note: Here we assume the options are labeled as A, B, C, D with the second option being B as per typical multiple - choice labeling. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly. But based on the order: first option - A, second - B, third - C, fourth - D)
