Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The growth rate is not uniform but is different at different periods of life.
So the growth is differential.
In human beings, the muscles show maximum growth (from 0.8 Kg in newly born baby to 30 Kg in adult) while brain shows minimum growth (from 0.4 Kg in newly born baby to 1.4 Kg in adult) from birth to adulthood.
