The consonant-vowel utterances that characterize the infant's first attempts to vocalize are called babbling. Cooing refers to the early stage of vocalization, where infants make "oooh" or "aah" sounds. Canonical babbling is a more advanced stage where infants begin to produce syllables like "mama" or "dada". "Baby talk" is not a technical term and can refer to any type of speech directed towards an infant. Thus, the best choice is (B) babbling.
