Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Maddox's belief that balloons are always round represents a schema, which is a mental framework that organizes and interprets information. In this case, Maddox's schema for balloons includes the characteristic of being round, and he may struggle to understand or recognize balloons that are not round. This is a common example of schema development in early childhood. Egocentrism, conservation, and secure attachment are not relevant concepts in this scenario.
