Preschoolers may show limited altruistic behavior because they are still learning about social norms and may not always know what actions they can take to help others. However, this does not mean they are incapable of altruistic behavior or that they do not want to help others. As they develop socially and cognitively, their capacity for altruistic behavior should improve. Therefore, option B is the most appropriate.
