Congratulations!  Pap (c) is the correct answer.  

By the end of the eighteenth century, more women have begun breastfeeding their own babies than ever before (5).  However, those mothers who choose not to breastfeed may use a nutrient substitute called pap.  This is a glue-like substance made of bread, water, milk, and brown sugar.  In Essay on the Diseases Most Fatal to Infants, a famous doctor, George Armstrong writes, "I do not advise the dry nursing of infants when they can be properly suckled, yet I would not have parents to be discouraged from trying it when it becomes requisite" (5).  However, critics of pap call it "a viscous and crude paste more proper to binders to bind their books than for the nourishment of infants" (6).  Although breastfeeding is highly recommended by most eighteenth century doctors, many women, most of upper- and middle-classes, who do not breastfeed their infants choose to feed them the nutrient-rich pap as a substitute.
