In Piaget's theory, the concrete operations stage occurs between 7 and 12 years of age and is characterized by the ability for logical thought processes such as conservation, classification, and reversible thinking. This stage is considered to be an intermediate stage between the early sensory-motor period and the later stage of formal operations. Abstract thinking is not yet fully developed during this stage, which is why option D) formal operations is not the correct answer. Option B) sensorimotor is the stage from birth to 2 years of age, and option C) preoperational is the stage from 2 to 7 years of age.
