In a visual assessment, an infant would be expected to reach for toys by the age of

  1. 1-2 months

  2. 2-4 months

  3. 4-6 months

  4. 6-8 months

The correct answer is: 4-6 months

Babies develop their motor skills at different rates, but by the age of 4-6 months, they typically have developed the necessary coordination and strength to reach for toys. This milestone can be an indication of healthy development in infants. 1-2 months is too early and 6-8 months is a bit too late for most infants to have this ability. Therefore, options A and D are incorrect. While some babies may develop this skill earlier or later than others, in general, most babies will have this ability by 4-6 months old, making option C the correct answer.
