• A. Not Sure
• B. False
• C. True
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (B)

Motor development progresses from simple to more complex movements, and the basic, survival motor skills are typically learned in early childhood—t toddler and preschool years—when children are gaining basic control of their bodies. Adolescence is a time of rapid growth and refinement, where skills become more coordinated and sport- or activity-specific, rather than the initial acquisition of foundational movements. Because of this, learning basic survival motor skills for the first time is not characteristic of the adolescent stage. The statement is false.
