Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The child beside another child and playing is exhibiting parallel play, characteristic of a toddler. Participating as a group leader does not usually occur until around age 5. Preschoolers (ages 3 to 5) demonstrate their ability to think more complexly by classifying objects according to size or color. A 2-year-old child does not have this ability yet. Gender does not become a factor until the child reaches school-age when the child prefers same sex peers to opposite sex peers.
