The question specifically mentions that infant suffocation deaths have occurred due to a sleeping adult rolling on top of the infant. This is known as overlaying, making option A the most appropriate answer. Option B clustering is not related to the context of the question, option C SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is a separate condition that may or not be related to overlaying, and option D cocooning refers to a specific practice of swaddling a baby tightly.
