Explanation:

First Question (Baby turns head, arm/leg fencing position)

The Tonic Neck reflex (also called the fencing reflex) occurs when a baby turns their head, and the arm/leg on the side the head is turned toward extends while the opposite arm/leg flexes, forming a fencing position. The other reflexes: Babinski is about toe movement, Rooting is for feeding, Stepping is for leg movements like walking attempts but not the fencing position.

The Stepping reflex (also called the walking reflex) is when a baby attempts to walk or makes stepping - like movements when held upright with feet touching a surface. Rooting is for feeding, Startle is a reaction to sudden stimuli, Tonic Neck is the fencing reflex.

A. Tonic Neck reflex
