Which best explains the differences in physical growth of an infant compared to a child?

Infants typically grow very rapidly during their first year, gaining weight and length quickly. After infancy, children generally grow more steadily, with periods of faster growth, or spurts, interspersed with slower growth. Therefore, “Infants grow at a rapid pace, while children grow in spurts” is the best explanation.
