Detailed Explanation
According to Jean Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development, the 'Formal Operational Stage' extends from approximately 11 years of age through adulthood.
- Key Characteristics: The core features of this stage include the development of 'Hypothetico-Deductive Reasoning', 'Abstract Thinking', and propositional thought.
- Cognitive Ability: At this level, the individual is no longer dependent on concrete or tangible objects; instead, they can solve problems logically using abstract concepts, hypotheses, and theoretical possibilities.
- Analysis of Options:
- Option A describes limitations characteristic of the preoperational or concrete operational stages.
- Option B accurately defines the 'Concrete Operational Stage' (7 to 11 years).
- Option C correctly identifies the defining traits of the Formal Operational Stage.
- Option D describes the 'Sensorimotor Stage' (birth to 2 years).
Therefore, Option C is the most accurate and correct answer.
