Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall Kashyapa Samhita on infant care.
Acharya Kashyapa lays down a schedule for introducing a newborn to environmental stimuli
Step 2: Recall the timing.
According to this schedule, showing the infant the Sun and Moon is recommended once the child completes the first month

So the correct timing is the first month
\[ \boxed{First month} \]
