答案解析:主旨题。经过观察发现：…the mother, either instinctively ｏｒby an unconscious series of trials ａｎｄ　errors would soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart, than on the right.“母亲或许是本能地，或许是经过一系列的无意识的成败试验后很快发现，如果她的婴儿被抱在左侧贴近心脏处，要比抱在右侧乖得多”，因此才有第一段中的现象：80％的母亲是左手兜住自己的孩子，把孩子放在自己身体的左侧。因此C正确。
