Explanation

Section 6.1 explains these changes: 'Development of breasts' is mentioned specifically for girls. 'Growth of moustache' and 'Growth of facial hair' are mentioned for boys (boys develop facial hair which later grows into moustache and beard). 'Change in voice' occurs in both—boys have more prominent changes due to larger voice box growth, but girls also experience slight voice changes. 'Pimples on the face' (acne) is common in both. 'Growth of hair in the pubic region' and 'Growth of hair in armpits' are explicitly stated as experienced by both boys and girls.
