The Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WISC) is designed to measure which of the following in a child?

  1. Intellectual and cognitive ability

  2. Physical growth and development

  3. Artistic skills and talents

  4. Social and emotional maturity

The correct answer is: Intellectual and cognitive ability

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale (WISC) is an assessment tool specifically designed to measure a child's intellectual and cognitive abilities. It is a standardized test that measures various aspects of a child's thinking skills, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and memory. The other options, physical growth and development, artistic skills and talents, and social and emotional maturity, are not measured by the WISC and are better assessed through other tools and methods. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate and accurate answer.
