C) object permanence
D) egocentrism

Egocentrism

A cognitive bias where an individual is unable to see a situation from another person’s point of view, common in early childhood development.

Object Permanence

The understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be observed (seen, heard, touched, smelled, or sensed in any way).

Conservation

Conservation in cognitive psychology relates to the understanding that certain properties of objects, like volume or number, remain the same despite changes in their form or appearance.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
This behavior exemplifies egocentrism, a concept from Piaget's theory of cognitive development, where a child is unable to see a situation from another person's perspective. Ron assumes that if he can see the picture, his grandmother on the phone can see it too.
