Based on pragmatic inference, the gender of the baby is the least reasonable inference that one might glean from the given statement.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pragmatic inference is used in the case of imaginary writing. When an author explains about a topic and he uses a sentence that cannot be logically or literally applicable to develop a conclusion.

It may seem to be true because they are completely irrelevant. It consists of three stages: understand the given information, form a hypothesis from the given information and evaluate the conclusion that achieved. From the scenario, the information is that the baby cried.

The hypothesis is if the baby cried parents also stayed awake to take care of the baby and the baby is sick. The conclusion is that the baby stayed awake the whole night. There is no information about the baby's gender.
