Rubbing the infant's back provides tactile (touch) stimulation, which is one of the most developed senses in newborns. Classical music (option A) may provide auditory stimulation but may not necessarily be the most effective for the infant's sensory development. Turning the lights on and off (option C) may provide visual stimulation but could also be overwhelming for a newborn's developing eyes. Showing complex pictures (option D) may not be effective as infants' visual abilities are still developing and they may not be able to fully process complex images.
