Question

Stephanie Stilfield · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The concrete operational stage, which occurs between ages 7 and 12, is characterized by the ability to think logically about concrete events and objects. Children in this stage are able to perform mental operations on physical objects and can understand concepts such as conservation and reversibility. They also begin to grasp the concept of cause and effect, but their thinking is still limited to concrete, tangible experiences rather than abstract or hypothetical situations. This stage is commonly associated with the years of elementary and middle school.
