When adults toss balls to very young children they generally try to toss them as slowly as possible to compensate for the children' s developing coordination. But recent studies show that despite their developing coordination, children actually have an easier time catching balls that are thrown at a faster speed. Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain why very young children find it easier to catch balls that are thrown at a faster speed?
A: Children are able to toss balls back to the adults with more accuracy when they throw fast than when they throw the ball back more slowly.
B: Adults generally find it easier to catch balls that are thrown slowly than balls that are thrown at a faster speed.
C: Balls thrown at a faster speed, unlike balls thrown at a slower speed, trigger regions in the brain that control the tracking of objects for self-defense.
D: There is a limit to how fast the balls can be tossed to the children before the children start to have more difficulty in catching them.
