Correct answer: A. Uses a spoon with minimal spillage
Explanation
By 18 months, a child can use a spoon with minimal spillage, build a tower of 3-4 cubes, walk well, and say 10-15 words. Copying a circle is a 3-year milestone, building a tower of 6 cubes is 2 years, and hopping on one foot is 4 years. Thus, A is the correct age-appropriate milestone.
