Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
By 9 months, infants play simple social games such as patty-cake and peek-a-boo. By 1 year, infants not only recognize their own names but are also able to say three to five words and understand almost 100 words; a 2 year old is generally able to speak in two-word sentences. The use of whole cow's milk, 2% cow's milk, or alternate milk products before the age of 12 months is not recommended. By 6 months, most infants are nocturnal and sleep between 9 and 11 hours at night. Total daily sleep averages 15 hours.
