[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, your choice of D is correct. Life span developmental studies are based on the idea that every part of the lifespan is influenced by earlier events and experiences, and in turn, these earlier events and experiences will impact later events and development.

It emphasizes the interconnectedness and continuity of development across the lifespan.
