The most critical period of acquisition and development of language is
Answer: B
The most critical period for language is early childhood.
The years from birth to about six are the sensitive period for language: children acquire the sound system, a large vocabulary and the basic grammar of the languages around them with remarkable speed and without formal teaching. Language learned later rarely reaches the same native fluency, which is why early exposure to rich talk matters so much.
The pre-natal period comes before any language use. By middle childhood and adolescence the foundations are already laid; vocabulary and style keep growing, but the critical acquisition has happened.
