Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Stranger wariness typically peaks at around 8-10 months and then begins to decrease gradually. By 15 months, many toddlers are more comfortable with strangers and may even approach them willingly, although some caution may still be present. By 2 years of age, most children have developed a basic understanding of social rules and etiquette, which helps them feel more at ease in new social situations.
