Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The other cognitive advance that must emerge for young children to have the capacity for behavior regulation is representational thought. This refers to the ability to mentally represent events, objects, and experiences that are not currently present in the environment. With representational thought, children can reflect on and anticipate consequences of their actions, which can help regulate their behaviors.
