C Correct answer

Fruits and vegetables are safe and ideal first foods for complementary feeding (weaning) starting around 6 months. Foods with added salt should be avoided to protect the baby's kidneys, and raw or partially cooked eggs carry a risk of salmonella unless they carry the British Lion mark.
