-Diffusing Capacity of CO remained mildly diminished at 1 year=as in this case

B was not correct ,we have to think about other choice.A is not correct also bcz PE shows no abnormality,she is able to imitate words but slowly(no hearing loss).......and has a good eye contact,he is friendly and cooperative(no autism)

so the only choice is D,,by encouraging him to talk ......
