Final Answer : C, Explanation :  In the formal operations period,adolescents and young adults begin to think about such subjects as achieving world peace,finding justice,and seeking meaning in life.Asking about a presidential election demonstrates that the adolescent is concerned about political issues that affect others besides her.Hitting would be a common schema during the sensorimotor stage of development.Using play to learn about the environment is indicative of the preoperational stage.During the concrete operations stage (ages 6 to 12 years),children are able to coordinate two concrete perspectives in social and scientific thinking,such as understanding the difference between hiding and melting.
