Object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are no longer visible or present. In this scenario, Lisa is able to search for and retrieve her bottle despite it being temporarily hidden, which indicates that she has developed object permanence. Egocentrism and conservation are not relevant to this scenario, and accommodation refers to the process of adjusting one's existing schema to incorporate new information, which is not applicable here.
