A) the physical gestures that function as a child's primary form of communication for a portion of its infancy
This is the correct answer choice. It clearly and precisely communicates the intended meaning of the sentence.Abhi077
B) the physical gestures that function for a child's primary form of communication in a portion of its infancy
The word "for" does not express the same intention as the word "as" from answer A)Abhi077
C) physical gestures which function as a child's primary forms of communication for a portion of its infancy

D) the physical gestures which function as the primary form of communication of children during a portion of its infancy

E) a child's primary form of communication, physical gestures which become their primary form of communication during a portion of their infancy
