B) Newborns have a keen sense of smell, and can recognize familiar and comforting scents.
C) Newborns have a very rudimentary sense of smell, and can only demonstrate revulsion to unpleasant odors. This is believed to serve an adaptive purpose, as it keeps infants from eating potentially poisonous objects.
