ashish chigullapalli · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : A, Explanation :  During Piaget's preoperational period, children have trouble understanding the distinction between reality and appearance. Their thinking is egocentric and they are unable to take another's point of view, which can lead to confusion between what is real and what is not. For example, a child may believe that a stuffed animal is alive because it moves and has a face, even though it is not actually alive. This inability to distinguish between appearance and reality is a characteristic of the preoperational stage.
