According to Piaget, during the formal operational period (which typically begins around age 12), individuals develop the ability to think abstractly and systematically. This means that they can reason logically about hypothetical situations, use deductive reasoning, and understand complex concepts. The other options (B, C, and D) are all characteristics of earlier developmental stages. Object permanence typically develops during the sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years), centration is a characteristic of the preoperational stage (2 to 7 years), and the principle of conservation is typically mastered during the concrete operational stage (7 to 12 years).
