According to safety guidelines, infants who are less than 1 year old should always be facing backwards in the back seat in a reclined position at an angle of 45 degrees. This position provides the best protection for the infant's head, neck, and spine in the event of a sudden stop or crash. Option C is the only choice that meets these guidelines, so it is the best choice for safe transport of an infant.
