C. Fewer growth spurts

Puberty is the time period in life when a boy or girl becomes sexually mature or we can say adult. It is a process that usually happens between ages 10 and 14 for girls and ages 12 and 16 for boys. It causes certain physical changes, and affects boys and girls differently. Most important changes that occur in puberty are muscle growth and strength, facial acne, body odor and rapid growth spurts. Since the options say fewer growth spurts that is why it is the wrong choices among given choices.

The correct answer is- C.fewer growth spurts

Puberty can be described as a process of physical change, which occurs primarily through hormonal signal from the brain to the sex organs ( that secrete sex hormones in response).

It is a process by which body of a child gets matured ( acquires certain changes such as muscular strength, acne, more activation of sweat glands that produce body odor) and becomes capable of sexual reproduction. Growth spurts corresponds to the rapid change in the characteristics of body ( such as weight, height, enlargement of mammary glands) of an individual, which is the sign of puberty.

Thus, fewer growth spurts is the exception for puberty.
