According to Piaget's theory, cognitive development occurs through a series of stages that build upon each other. Josephine's understanding of conservation of quantity (that the amount of pie remains the same despite a change in appearance) indicates that she has advanced to the concrete operational stage of cognitive development, typically occurring between the ages of 7-12 years. This suggests that she has achieved a significant milestone in her cognitive development. The fact that she has understood this concept without any immediate reward or reinforcement rules out option B. Option A is incorrect as Piaget's theory does not have any specific age requirements for each stage. Option D is incorrect as the theory suggests that understanding the principle of conservation will generalize to other stimuli, although it may take time for the child to apply it in different contexts.
