Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 8 months old, babies generally develop the pincer grasp, which involves using their pointer finger and thumb to pinch and pick up small objects. The whole hand grasp (A) is typically used by younger infants, while the 3 finger (C) and 5 finger (D) grasps are less common and usually develop later on.
