Answer: C

Explanation: c. Change the diaper as soon as it is soiled and at least every 2 hours.

This is the recommended practice to help prevent and manage diaper dermatitis in infants. Frequent diaper changes help keep the baby's skin dry and reduce the risk of irritation and rash. The other options (a, b, and d) are not advisable for the reasons mentioned in the previous response.
