The right answer is A.

Growth is mainly due to the growth hormone. It allows the growth cartilages to form bones.

The child grows rapidly the first year then his growth reaches a relatively stable growth when he has the age of puberty. After, the sex hormones appear and develop the growth cartilages, shaping them permanently. it is then the stop of growth.
