The parents of a set of fraternal twins are concerned about the differences in the growth and development between the children. The principle of growth and development that will best explain this to the parents is:
1. The sequence of each stage is predictable, although the time of onset, length of the stage, and the effects of each stage vary with the person.
2. Each developmental stage has its own characteristics.
3. Development becomes increasingly differentiated.
4. Certain stages of growth and development are more critical than others.

Rationale: Explaining the difference between the twins' growth as a normal phenomenon of growth and development will put the parents' mind at ease.
