Explanation:

Adolescence is the period of life between childhood and adulthood, typically from ages 10 to 19. During this time, individuals undergo puberty, which brings about significant physical changes such as growth spurts, development of secondary sexual characteristics, and changes in body composition. Middle childhood (ages 6 - 12) has slower physical growth compared to adolescence. Early adulthood (around 20 - 40) is more about peak physical performance rather than major physical changes, and late adulthood (65 +) is marked by physical decline rather than the extensive changes seen in adolescence. So adolescence is the period with the most physical change.

Answer:

B. adolescence
