Central conceptual structures are the result of children consolidating their individual schemes into a more advanced and detailed representational form. This involves the coordination of multiple schemes and their assimilation into a more abstract and generalizable structure. Thus, choice B "consolidated into an improved representational form" is the correct answer. The other options (predominance of a scheme over assimilation, disequilibration, and separation into distinct categories) do not fully capture the process of generating central conceptual structures.
