Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In preindustrial societies, children were often viewed as smaller versions of adults, with the expectation that they would take on adult roles and responsibilities at a young age. This perspective did not romanticize childhood as a unique and innocent phase of life, unlike some modern views.
