According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children between the ages of 7 and 11 are in the concrete operational stage. During this stage, children develop the ability to think logically about concrete events, understand the concept of conservation, and engage in simple problem-solving.

Therefore, the correct answer is C, concrete operational thinking.
