Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Newborns are able to see and respond to light and sound, and will follow large objects with their eyes. While their vision may not be fully developed, they certainly have some ability to see and respond to their environment. Option A is incorrect as newborns are able to see, even if their vision is not fully developed. Option B is partially correct, as young babies may not be able to track objects until around 5 months, but they still have visual responses before then. Option D is incorrect as newborns are able to focus to some extent, even if their vision is not clear.
