The statement not applicable to Andrew, a 6-month-old baby whose native language is Chinese, is option B) "Andrew can understand and respond to complex verbal instructions."
At 6 months, infants are typically in the early stages of language development, engaging in babbling and simple sound production (option A).
While they may show a preference for familiar sounds, including their native language (option C), their comprehension and response to complex verbal instructions are not expected at this early stage.
Option D, "Andrew is likely to start recognizing familiar faces and objects in his environment," aligns with the normal developmental trajectory for infants, as they begin to establish recognition patterns in their surroundings during this period.
However, complex verbal understanding is a later milestone in language acquisition, usually beyond the 6-month mark.
