Piaget's concept of "conservation" refers to the understanding that certain properties of an object (such as number, weight, or volume) remain the same even if its appearance or shape changes. Option C is the only choice that accurately represents this concept. Option A refers to the concept of "perspective-taking," while option B reflects the idea of "object permanence."
