Options

B. Pre -operational stage
C. Concrete operational stage
D. Sensory motor stage

Answer

C

Explanation

Piaget, in his cognitive development theory, proposes that humans progress through four development stages, the Sensorimotor (-2 years of age), the preoperational (2-7 years), the concrete operational (7-12 years of age) and the formal operational stage (12 onwards). During the third stage of concrete operational, a child begins to understand more complex concepts such as time, space quantity and can apply these concepts to concrets events.
