Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Piaget believed that during the preoperational stage, children do not yet use logical operations, meaning they cannot effectively reason concepts or perform mental operations. They also have difficulty understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts. However, they do demonstrate intellectual behavior and have the capability to understand and produce language.
