B

C

D
Telegraphic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Babbling. The babbling phase occurs from around six to eight months old. In this phase, the infant begins to “babble” and makes noises and syllables that are not yet words. Physically, teeth begin to appear and the muscles in the mouth required for speech begin to develop.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, if your baby is 8 months old and still not babbling, you may want to make an appointment with your pediatrician. A delay in language development can point to a few different causes, ranging from hearing and speech impairments to developmental disorders like autism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Around six to seven months of age, babies begin to babble. They are now able to produce vowels and combine them with a consonant, generating syllables (e.g., [da]). This is an important milestone in speech development, and one that marks a departure from the imprecise vocalisations of the first months of life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Babbling is a stage of early language development when baby makes consonant-vowel or vowel-consonant sounds, such as “ma”, “da” or “um”. Repetitive babbling occurs next (for example, “mamama”). Finally, baby will combine a variety of sounds (i.e. “mabaga”) which is called variegated babbling.

Detailed explanation-5: -If she doesn’t babble or imitate any sounds by her seventh month, it could mean a problem with her hearing or speech development. A baby with a partial hearing loss still can be startled by loud noises or will turn her head in their direction, and she may even respond to your voice.
