Correct Answer:
C. Middle to outer
The correct answer is All of the above. The "law of recurrence" or recapitulation theory, often associated with early developmental psychology, suggests that individual development (ontogeny) mirrors the evolutionary development of the species (phylogeny). However, the question seems to be interpreted differently, possibly referring to general patterns of development rather than a specific historical theory.
- In a broader sense of human development, growth can occur in various directions: from 'extreme to middle' (e.g., refining broad movements), 'middle to extreme' (e.g., developing fine motor skills from core stability), and 'middle to outer' (e.g., development radiating from the torso outwards).
Without a more specific context for "law of recurrence" in this question, 'All of the above' is chosen to encompass the multifaceted and complex nature of human developmental directions, which are not strictly unidirectional.
