Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Task: Chronologically order Jean Piaget's four stages of cognitive development from birth to adolescence.
Analysis: Piaget's theory outlines four universal stages:
D. Sensorimotor Stage: (Birth - ~2 years) Learning via senses and motor actions; develops object permanence.
C. Preoperational Stage: (~2 - ~7 years) Use of language and symbols; egocentric thinking, lacks logic.
B. Concrete Operations Stage: (~7 - ~11 years) Logical thought about concrete events; grasps conservation.
A. Formal Operations Stage: (~12 years - adulthood) Development of abstract, hypothetical, and systematic thought.
The correct chronological progression is D → C → B → A.
Conclusion: The correct sequence is D, C, B, A.
