Since Nicole practised sitting and Natalie practised stepping, it is likely that they will be better at those skills compared to Linda who did not practise anything. Therefore, option A can be ruled out. Option B is unlikely as Linda did not practise any skill. Option C is also unlikely as it is possible that Linda may have better skills due to natural ability or previous practice. Hence, the best answer is D where Nicole is better at sitting than Linda and Natalie is better at stepping than either Linda or Nicole.
