Which stage of breast development occurs during the first 2 months of life?

In utero
Puberty
Menstruation
Adulthood

The correct answer is: In utero

During the first 2 months of life, breast development occurs predominantly in utero. This is because during pregnancy, the mother's hormones pass to the baby, stimulating the development of breast tissue. After birth, some of the maternal hormones still circulating in the baby's system can continue the development initially started in utero. The other options - puberty, menstruation, and adulthood - are stages of breast development that occur at later stages in life and are not relevant to the first 2 months after birth.
