In the context of principles of child development, which of the following statements provides the most accurate and scientific explanation regarding the 'Cephalocaudal Trend' and 'Proximodistal Trend'?

Child development is a sequential and predictable process that follows certain universal directions. There are two major directional laws of physical and motor development:

• Cephalocaudal Trend: According to this, development proceeds from the head downwards toward the feet (an infant first gains control over their head and later learns to walk).
• Proximodistal Trend: Under this, development starts from the center of the body and moves outward toward the periphery (hands and fingers).

Therefore, option (b) provides the most accurate and scientific explanation of these two developmental trends in educational psychology and pedagogy.
