Answer to Question 1

C
Newborn infants can see better than was once thought. Although they are near sighted, see-ing best at a length of 7 to 10 inches, they can focus, showing a preference for human faces, simple patterns, and contrasting colors.

intervention to extensive reconstruction or prosthetic fitting.
