Solution

The correct option is C Vitamin D
Human skin can make large amounts of vitamin D when lots of skin is exposed and the sun is high in the sky. The body is designed to get the vitamin D it needs by producing it when the bare skin is exposed to the sunlight. the part of the sun's rays that is important is ultraviolet B or UVB. So, when a baby is exposed to sunlight in the morning, it is done to produce vitamin D.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
