Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of human development: It is a continuous process that begins at conception and continues throughout an individual's life, encompassing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial changes.

Recognize that human development is not limited to a specific age range such as birth to adolescence or complete by the age of 18. It includes all stages of life, from prenatal development to old age.

Acknowledge the role of both genetic and environmental factors in human development. While genetics provide the blueprint, environmental influences such as nutrition, culture, and experiences also play a significant role.

Evaluate each statement in the problem: The statement that human development begins at birth and ends at adolescence is incorrect because development continues beyond adolescence.

Identify the correct statement: Human development is a continuous process that starts at conception and continues throughout life, integrating both genetic and environmental influences.
