A
sensorimotor
B
preoperational
C
concrete operations
D
formal operations
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)

Detailed explanation-2: -Due to egocentrism, the child is only concerned with the final outcome of an event rather than another’s intentions. For example, if someone breaks the child’s toy, the child would not forgive the other and the child would not be able to understand that the person who broke the toy did not intend to break it.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget believed that children remain egocentric throughout the preoperational stage. This means they cannot understand that other people think in different ways to them or that events that take place are not always related to them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Egocentrism. Egocentrism refers to the child’s inability to see a situation from another person’s point of view. The egocentric child assumes that other people see, hear, and feel exactly the same as the child does.
