    The answer is correct. Yet there is something to be added with that.
    Economic development is a broader term which includes economic growth also. It means increase in the amount of goods and services produced and also the increase in the economic wealth of an economy.
    Growth is quantitative increase while development is both quantitative and qualitative increase.
