Mechanisms of growth of the naso-maxillary complex include

Sutural, cartilaginous, appositional
Appositional, resorptive, expansionary
Cartilaginous, sutural, resorptive
Expansionary, appositional, condylar

The correct answer is: Sutural, cartilaginous, appositional

The growth of the naso-maxillary complex can occur due to sutural, cartilaginous, or appositional mechanisms. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not include all three types of growth mechanisms listed in the question. Option B does not include cartilaginous growth, option C does not include appositional growth, and option D does not include sutural growth. Therefore, option A is the most comprehensive and correct answer.
