Answer:

is the question correct? because more than one of these looks correct, it could be 1 or 3 if true but if the question really is one is false it would be 2 for sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 is correct but not exactly, some females can hit puberty at 13 and males at 9 but females typically hit puberty at ages 8-13 while males 9-14

2 is wrong because both sexes experience physical and psychological changes during puberty.

3 is right but it is just typical, it can happen before or later but the average age is 9-14.

4 i haven't read anything of this so it could be true or false
