Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During Piaget's sixth stage of sensorimotor intelligence (18-24 months), toddlers begin to engage in symbolic play and enjoy playing with inanimate objects as if they were real. This type of play is called pretend play or symbolic play. Therefore, option A is the best choice. Parallel play is when toddlers play alongside each other but not necessarily with each other, rough-and-tumble play involves physical play and wrestling, and cognitive play is not a recognized category of play.
