The correct answer is B. False

Step-by-step explanation:

In development, a growth spurt refers to a period of time in which individuals experience rapid growth or development. In the case of an adolescent growth spurt, this is a natural process that occurs to all individuals including boys and girls during puberty. This takes place because during adolescence the hormone levels change and this leads to rapid growth as well as development or maturation of bones, muscle and the sexual or reproductive system. According to this, it is false an adolescent growth spurt occurs only in boys because this is a natural process that occurs on both girls and boys.
