Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation of Formal Operational Stage
According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the formal operational stage (approximately from 11 years to adulthood) is the highest tier of intellectual development in children.
- Abstract Thinking: Children are no longer limited to concrete or actual facts.
- Hypothetico-Deductive Reasoning: They develop the capacity to think scientifically, generate hypotheses, and systematically deduce conclusions from possibilities.
Thus, option C accurately describes this fundamental intellectual capability.
