I think a, b, and d could be correct.

Please define these two terms:

**cephalocaudal principle

**proximodistal development

cephalocaudal principle that development proceeds in a head to tail direction;that is that upper parts of the body develop before lower parts of the trunk
-proximodistal principle that development proceeds from within to without;that is ,that parts of the body near the center develop before the extremities
