Babbling typically begins around 6 months of age and involves the use of a variety of sounds and phonemes, including those not present in the child's native language. As the child's language skills develop, they gradually begin to only use the phonemes present in their native language, which typically occurs by around 8-12 months of age. Therefore, the best choice is B.
