Answer to Question 1

A
Eating habits are developed during childhood. Once developed, poor eating habits are difficult to change.

Answer to Question 2

D
Introducing solid food before the age of 4 to 6 months is not recommended. The child's gastrointestinal tract and kidneys are not sufficiently developed to handle solid foods before that age.
