Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rolling over independently is a typical milestone for a 4-month-old infant, indicating that they have achieved some level of motor control and strength.

Option B is incorrect because transitioning from sitting to crawling typically occurs between 6-10 months old. Option C is incorrect as infants typically do not begin drinking from a cup until around 6 months old. Option D is unlikely at this age, as pulling up to stand typically occurs between 8-10 months old. Option E is also unlikely, as the ulnar grasp typically develops closer to 6 months of age.
