Ans:C. 8-10 weeks.
The milestone shown in the photograph above represents ventral suspension, head in line with trunk.
Ventral Suspension
- When a new born is held in prone position and then lifted above the head,he is unable to hold the head in line with trunk,i.e the head tends to flop down.
- By 6 weeks,he can hold the head for a moment in line with the trunk(horizontal line).
- By 8 weeks,he can maintain the horizontal position well enough.
- By 12 weeks,he tends to lift his head above the horizontal line
