Answer: Sense of vision

Explanation: Babies do not see very well at large distances. Everything beyond 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) is blurry as they are nearsightned. Thus, when the candy comes into focus, the baby can distinguish it and becomes excited by the new object.

The candy will also activate the sense of smell, as peppermint gives a strong odor. However, this will have an effect over larger distances and not only when the candy comes close to the baby's face.

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is: sente of taste and smell.

Explanation:

      This can be said just looking at the question, it mentions peppermint candy, and this type of candy almost always has a strong smell, and it's very good aswell.

      After knowing this, she just put the candy close to the baby's face, not touching it, not making any different noises, and the baby can or cannot realize that is a candy, the possibility exists, but it's higher to be the sense of taste and smell.
