Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Stranger anxiety develops as infants gain a sense of object permanence, understanding that objects and people continue to exist even when they are not in sight. This cognitive milestone typically occurs around 8 to 12 months of age and is a key aspect of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. As infants realize that people and objects exist independently of their own actions, they may begin to show anxiety or distress when faced with unfamiliar people, indicating they understand the permanence of their caregivers and can distinguish them from strangers.
