The correct answer is

The end of adolescence

Development refers to the ordered sequence of biological, psychological and emotional changes that unfold across a person's life.

This sequence begins at birth and continues through infancy, early childhood, and later childhood into the growing years.

By convention in developmental study, this continuous sequence of change is described as extending up to the end of adolescence, after which physical and psychological growth stabilises into maturity.

Child development is therefore defined as this sequence of changes occurring between birth and the end of adolescence.
