Answer: B. It is necessary for a baby to be able to physically respond to the environment for it to develop its full potential.

1. Parse the logical structure of the passage: Passage: 'In order to [develop to full potential], a baby needs to be [physically able to respond to environment].' This means: develop full potential REQUIRES physical response. Physical response is the necessary condition.
2. Match each option to the passage logic: A. 'Full physical potential is needed to respond' — reverses the direction; the passage says the opposite. B. 'Necessary for baby to physically respond in order to develop full potential' — matches the passage exactly. C. 'It is good for baby to physically respond' — weakens a 'necessity' to mere goodness; unsupported. D. 'A physically able baby needs to develop its potential in order to respond' — reverses cause and effect.
