A
Iconic, Symbolic, Enactive
B
Enactive, Iconic, Symbolic
C
Symbolic, Enactive, Iconic
D
Enactive, Symbolic, Iconic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Jerome Bruner identified three stages of cognitive representation. Enactive, which is the representation of knowledge through actions. Iconic, which is the visual summarization of images. Symbolic representation, which is the use of words and other symbols to describe experiences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jerome Bruner’s Theory of Development is based on the assumption that we learn best when we go from concrete to abstract in a three-step process: First comes hands-on “Action”, then learning with “Images” and finally students transform what they’ve learned into “Language”.

Detailed explanation-3: -In Bruner’s research of cognitive development of children in 1966, he proposed three modes of representations-enactive, iconic, and symbolic. This type of representation happens in the very young (birth to age 1). It involves encoding action based information that is then stored into our memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hence, it could be concluded that the right order of three modes of representation proposed by Jerome S Bruner is Enactive representation leading to Iconic representation and finally Symbolic representation.
