D Correct answer
Explanation

Newborns have approximately 300 bones at birth, which is about 94 more than adults. As the child grows, many of these bones fuse together to form larger bones. For example, the skull starts as several separate plates that fuse into one bone, and the sacrum and coccyx begin as separate vertebrae.
