Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Syntax refers to the rules that govern how words are combined to form sentences. In this case, the child is learning how nouns, verbs, adjectives, and prepositions can be combined in acceptable ways to create sentences, which falls under the realm of syntax. Phonology is the study of speech sounds, pragmatics is the study of how context affects language use, and semantics is the study of meaning in language. While all of these areas are important aspects of language acquisition, syntax is the most relevant to the child's current learning.
