Can you provide an explanation for why C is not the better choice? In studying most texts emphasize iron and zinc rich complementary foods. I see how self feeding is important for fine motor skills and infant controlled eating until satiated but it seems like the content of the food in general would be more important as the breastmilk is not sufficient in iron and zinc after 6 months?

Thanks!!

Hi. Thanks for calling attention to this. I think the wording of the answers could have been better to make D seem like the best answer. I love your thinking on this. The idea was to emphasize more what was going on with a 9 month old. I tweaked the wording a bit. Thanks for the comment.
