A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Though some babies take their first steps around their first birthdays, most learn to walk in the months after they turn 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -From a very young age, your baby strengthens their muscles, slowly preparing to take their first steps. Usually between 6 and 13 months, your baby will crawl. Between 9 and 12 months, they’ll pull themselves up. And between 8 and 18 months, they’ll walk for the first time.

Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, the onset of walking is extremely variable, with some babies walking before 9 months, and others waiting until they are 18 months or older. When do babies start walking? In the United States today, the average age of independent walking is approximately 12 months.

Detailed explanation-4: -The CDC recommends talking to your child’s pediatrician if they’re not walking at all by 18 months and not walking steadily by age 2-so you have plenty of time even if your little one hasn’t started showing signs by age 1.
