Question

Nasha Athalia · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  During the babbling stage, infants experiment with making sounds, but they gradually lose the ability to hear and produce sounds that are not part of the language(s) they are exposed to. This phenomenon is part of the natural process of language acquisition, where the brain starts to specialize in the sounds of the native language(s), leading to a decrease in the ability to distinguish foreign phonetic elements.
