Research suggests that newborns are able to discriminate their own language from a foreign language, and their mother's voice from a stranger's voice. In contrast, their visual abilities are much less developed at birth, and develop rapidly over the first few months of life. One explanation for this is: A) Fetuses get equivalent auditory and visual experience before birth, but before they are born they are only able to learn from auditory experience B) Fetuses do not experience sensory information before birth (i.e., they cannot hear, see, smell, etc.) but language develops faster than vision because it is more evolutionarily important C) Fetuses get equivalent auditory and visual experience before birth, but vision requires additional postnatal triggers to be fully activated D) Fetuses can hear many types of sounds prenatally but have limited visual experience until after birth.

The unborn child that grows from an animals embryo is known as a fetus or foetus. The fetal stage of growth follows embryonic development. Fetal development in humans starts in the ninth week following fertilization and lasts until birth.
All of the main body organs are present in a fetus, even though they are not yet fully grown, functional, or in all of their final anatomical positions.
