Answer: D) contribute to infant survival

Explanation: In my lesson it says "Newborns are also born with several reflexes, or automatic responses that are not consciously controlled. These reflexes contribute to the newborn's ability to survive. Many reflexes are also believed to serve an important purpose in later development.". Nothing in the piece of information given says anything about them being unique, but option is covered, so I think it is option D
