Answer 1

The correct answer is d.think through a series of steps and then mentally reverse direction.

Reversibility is the understanding and awareness that mental or physical operations can be reversed. For instance if a task requires eight sequential steps to be completed, a child who is capable of reversibility will be aware that the eight steps can be reorganized or reversed and/or replaced by a different set of steps.
