Question 2 Option a. The preoperational stage occurs between two and seven years of age. During this stage, children do not posses the capacity to reason or understand logic.

Explanation:

Jean Piaget was a Swiss developmental biologist who created four different stages to describe the process of child development. The first stage is known as the sensorimotor stage, which occurs between birth and two years of age. During this stage, children depend on their senses and physical abilities in order to understand their world. Because they do not understand anything that does not come from their own point of view, children at this stage display egocentric behavior. The second stage is known as preoperational stage, and occurs between two and seven years of age. During this stage, children do not possess the capacity to reason or understand logic and this is why the stage is called preoperational, as it is the time where the child starts to learn language and how to use the symbols of it.
