Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage focuses on Cara's family welcoming a new - born baby. Cara's mother being the first to hold the baby is a key event in the family's experience of the new arrival and is important for summarizing the main family - centric moment in the passage. Other options like Cara being the last to hold the baby, Cara's mother cooing at the baby in a non - significant way, and Cara visiting the hospital are not as central to the main event of the family's interaction with the new baby.

Answer:

C. Cara's mother was the first one to hold the child.
