B. 90% of the children in this sample took their first step when they were between 10.1 and 13.4 months old.
C. If we took many random samples of children, about 90% of them would produce this confidence interval.
D. We are 90% sure that a child will take their first step when he is between 10.1 and 13.4 months old.
