The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The first movements of the fetus, known as quickening, and the appearance of hair on its head are typically observed during the 5th month of gestation.
Around the 5th month of pregnancy, the fetus's musculoskeletal system develops sufficiently for it to start making noticeable movements. This is often described as fluttering or gentle flutters felt by the mother. Additionally, hair begins to grow on the fetus's head during this time.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 5th month.
