• A. Gross motor skills
• B. Fine motor skills
• C. Hand-eye coordination
• D. Visual perception

Answer: (B)

Fine motor skills refer to the small-muscle movements guided by the brain to perform precise actions, including those of the hands and fingers, as well as movements of the lips, tongue, and even the eyes. This set of abilities is what we call fine motor skills. They differ from gross motor skills, which involve larger movements and bigger muscle groups like those used for walking or jumping. Hand-eye coordination is about using what we see to guide our movements, and visual perception is about interpreting visual information; both relate to motor tasks but are not the label for the skill described.
