Jacob Townley · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Conservation is the ability to understand that certain properties of an object (such as size, weight, and volume) remain the same even when the object's appearance has changed. Piaget believed that children develop this ability in the concrete operations stage, which occurs between the ages of 7 and 11. During this stage, children become capable of logical thinking and can understand that objects can be transformed and still retain their essential properties.
