Newborn infants are able to recognize faces versus other images, even though they have had virtually no opportunity to learn what faces are.

The right answer will be a hypothesis that explains how newborn infants posses the ability to recognize faces. This could be that they have an inherent ability to do so, or that something in the first few hours after birth makes them drawn to faces.

If this is true, then infants have some innate ability to recognize faces. That explains why they can recognize faces even as newborns, because they don't need time to learn face recognition.

Even if this is the case, why do infants find images of faces more interesting than other images? This doesn’t explain why they’re drawn to faces in the first place.

This may be true for older infants, but newborn infants haven’t learned anything at all yet. We still need to explain how they can distinguish faces only hours after being born.

Like (B), we still need to know why infants have a greater preference for images of faces compared to other images. This doesn’t explain that.

Here, we have the same problem as in (C). Newborns haven’t learned anything yet, and this doesn't explain how they can distinguish faces before making any associations.
