Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At 15 months, infants are more mobile and active, and therefore parents are likely to use language that references both objects and places (a) as well as actions (b) that the child is engaging in. Additionally, affect-laden speech (c) is still common at this age, as parents often use exaggerated expressions and intonations to engage and communicate with their child. Therefore, the best choice is option D.
