Lifts head and chest when on tummy
A
9 months
B
5 months
C
3 months
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -By the time they are three months old, your baby should be able to lift their head and the top part of their chest well up, and support themselves with their hands when they’re on their tummy . Your baby will probably be strong enough to hold up their head in a car seat or sling.

Detailed explanation-2: -As your baby gets older and stronger, gradually increase the length of time, working up to a total of 20 minutes a day. By about 4 months, your baby should be able to lift their chest off the floor and lean on their elbows with their head upright.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thankfully, that all begins to change around 3 months of age, when most babies develop enough strength in their neck to keep their head partially upright. (Full control usually happens around 6 months.)
