Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The development of self-concept usually begins between 18-24 months, when children begin to recognize themselves in a mirror and distinguish themselves from others. Billy's response suggests that he has developed some self-awareness and can describe himself using labels, indicating that he is likely in the 19-24 month age range.
