Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
By the time a child is entering first grade at 6 years old, their eye muscles are developed enough to move their eyes efficiently across a series of letters. Additionally, they should be able to focus their eyes and sustain attention effectively on close-up objects. Focusing far away or being farsighted would be uncommon at this age.
