A small baby breathes about 45 times per minute while
a child of about six years breathes -----25 times per minute.
a child of about six years breathes -----25 times per minute.

Why small is used here, baby's have to be small?
So use of small here is irrelevant here.

What about - "A small baby breathes about 45 times per minute 'where as' a child of about six years breathes about 25 times per minute".

While --> whereas.
So according to me, the option (c) is incorrect.

It is a superfluous error. A child of six years. About is not required.

C is correct because it describes the range. Means the child may be of 6 or more than 6. So "about" is used.

There are certain doubts-.
1) there should be "six year" instead of six years.
@Sug.
About must be there just because we are not talking about six years old child, we are generalizing the thing.

I think the error should be 'A'. Because spurious use of a small baby.
