Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Conservation refers to the understanding that certain fundamental properties of an object remain the same despite changes in its appearance. This understanding is not present in the preoperational stage, but it typically emerges in the concrete operational stage (ages 7-12), which is characterized by the ability to think logically about concrete events and to understand conservation principles.
