Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Piaget suggested that conservation of mass is the first type of conservation that children develop, typically around the age of 7. This precedes the understanding of conservation of weight and volume, which develop later. Conservation of depth is not typically listed in Piaget's stages of cognitive development.
