rolls from tummy to back
A

B

C

D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Babies start to learn to roll over from back to front as early as four months. It may take her until she’s about five or six months to be able to roll from tummy to the back, because she needs stronger neck and arm muscles to accomplish this. Babies should always be put down to sleep on their back.

Detailed explanation-2: -Babies start rolling over as early as 4 months old. They will rock from side to side, a motion that is the foundation for rolling over. They may also roll over from tummy to back. At 6 months old, babies will typically roll over in both directions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Belly to back: babies typically roll from belly to back between 4 and 6 months. Back to belly: babies typically roll from back to belly between 5.5 and 7.5 months.

Detailed explanation-4: -Rolling over is an exciting milestone – it’s often the first way your baby gets truly mobile. Some babies roll from tummy to back as early as 3 months old, but every baby is different. Rolling from back to tummy takes more coordination, but often happens by the time a baby is 5 to 6 months old.

Detailed explanation-5: -Rolling over is a significant milestone, but when rolling occurs too early, it can be a sign of abnormal reflexes. It can also indicate spasticity. Demonstrating hand preference before 12 months is also an indicator of possible Cerebral Palsy. Muscle tone is another indicator.
