Answer

Either C. or A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can't be: D, or B, These options are unreasonable, as the infant can't eat these foods. For B: It is not reccomened to give an infant bread based foods. They should not eat solids, until they have developed a palate with soft foods and puree. For D: The baby's body functions arean't able to lift and use a spoon properly. For E: Again, the baby would need some help with holding and using the cup, the body isn't strong enough.

So the only options left would be A and C.

"American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend introducing solid foods to babies when they are between ages 4 and 6 months." So techniqually, this could be true.

C: Yes, i believe they can finger feed themselves.

I'm very sorry I could not give a straight answer, use this information to the best possible to make your choice. Best of luck! :)
