Explanation:

Continuous theories of development emphasize that development is a gradual, cumulative process. Experience and learning play a crucial role in this continuous growth. Option A is incorrect as continuous theories do not support rapid/sudden development. Option C is more related to biological - based (discontinuous in some ways) views. Option D is characteristic of stage - based (discontinuous) theories.

Answer:

B. Experience and learning is important to development.
