The correct answer is, baby Helen has developed self-awareness.

Self-awareness refers to being aware or knowledgeable about oneself, one's behavior, feelings and physical appearance. Studies in developmental psychology have found that children develop self-awareness around 12-18 months of age. In the early stages of developing self-awareness, infants are able to recognize themselves in mirrors or photographs.
