Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that the fetus can taste and swallow the amniotic fluid, which can be flavored by the mother's diet.

Answer: C 
 Studies have found evidence that newborn infants are able to perceive all four of the basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter), indicating that taste perception does not require experience or learning.
