D. Spatial reasoning and Propositional thought

Answer

A

Explanation

Piagets final stage is the formal operational stage, which occurs from age 11 to around 15-20. Young people at this stage can process abstract concepts and use hypothetico-deductive reasoning in which a general idea is given and propositional thought in which the consequent events are predicted based on that idea. In addition to the ability to perform abstract mental operations, teens become more scientific and logical in the way they approach problems.
