Answer 1

The correct answer is formal operational.
In Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the formal operational stage is the final stage in a child's development. In this stage, the individual is able to think symbolically and philosophically, and to take care of the world around them, and not only themselves, which is the case with Alexa.
