    C. continuity-discontinuity controversy

    Explanation:

    The continuity approach says that change is a gradual and continuous process. A Child becomes more skillful in talking, thinking, or acting a lot the same way as they get elder or taller. The discontinuity approach says development is an abrupt process-a sequence of changes that construct different behaviors at different ages.

    Discontinuity includes:

    1. lack of cohesion or continuity.

    2. Gap sense.
