A) Lift head before sitting.
B) Sit before walking.
C) Roll over before grasping objects.
D) Make sounds before being able to walk.
C
Feedback:
Proximodistal means from the center to the outside. Following this, babies are likely to roll over before they grasp small objects. Movements such as lifting the head before sitting up and making sounds before being able to walk are in the cephalocaudal direction. Growth and development also progress from simple to complex; following this principle, babies are more likely to sit before learning to walk.
