Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The preoperational stage is characterized by egocentrism, which is the inability to take another person’s perspective. In the concrete operational stage, children develop conservation, which is the understanding that certain properties of an object (like mass or volume) stay the same even when the object changes shape or appearance. Therefore, egocentrism is to conservation as the preoperational stage is to the concrete operational stage.
