Jordan Smooth Burch · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The ability to think logically about hypothetical situations is a hallmark of the formal operational stage of development. This stage, according to Piaget, typically emerges around age 12 and is characterized by the ability to think abstractly, reason logically, and engage in hypothetical-deductive reasoning. The other options listed (conventional, preconventional, and preoperational) do not involve this level of abstract and hypothetical thinking.
