Option A: Incorrect
This statement would be true if the passage were to refer to what the baby's parents said once rather than what they usually say.
Option B: incorrect
The statement is assertive using the word ''would'' rather than been based on conditions since the passage does not state categorically what the decision of the parents would be.
Option C: Incorrect
This statement lacks proper punctuation as the first decision and the condition is not separated by the comma (,) which doesn't offer it the necessary skeletal support it requires.
Option D: Correct
This statement states the condition on which the decision would be made and it properly separates the condition and the decisiion that have/ is been made in order to justify the assertions of the writer.
Option E: Incorrect
This statement is grammatically incoherent. The word was uchoose was used in its past tense rather than in its past participle.
