A
1
B
4
C
8
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -TO the surprise of many psychologists, tests on infants as young as six months of age are predicting their scores on intelligence tests years later, when they start school.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smaller improvements are still noticeable from age 20 until what the researchers described as a “peak” begins at age 35. The peak lasts until roughly age 45, at which point chess skill – and, the study theorizes, overall mental performance – begins a marked decline.

Detailed explanation-3: -mental age, intelligence test score, expressed as the chronological age for which a given level of performance is average or typical. An individual’s mental age is then divided by his chronological age and multiplied by 100, yielding an intelligence quotient (IQ).
