The correct option is A

True


Puberty involves a series of physical stages leading to sexual maturity and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. A rapid increase in height, referred to as a growth spurt usually accompanies puberty. This growth spurt lasts for two to three years. About 17%-18% of adult height is attained during puberty. The growth spurt characteristically occurs earlier in girls than in boys.
