Explanation:

Question 1

Child development focuses on the overall growth and changes children undergo over time. Option A is too narrow (only eating/sleeping), B is about toy choice (not core), C is physical growth only. D covers the broader concept of growth and change over time.

Key child development areas include social, motor, and cognitive skills. Culinary skills (cooking) are not a typical key area of child development as the others are fundamental to growth.

Developmental milestones are general guidelines for what most children can do at certain ages, not for comparing, strict scheduling, or identifying giftedness. Option B matches this purpose.

Answer:

D. How children grow and change over time.
