Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Reflexive swimming and stepping movements are innate reflexes observed in infants. These reflexes are automatic and not consciously controlled. They typically fade as the child grows older and are replaced by voluntary movements. This natural progression does not depend on practice or parental intervention to evolve into more complex skills like walking or swimming.
