Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Object permanence is the term for an individual's understanding that objects continue to exist even when they can no longer be sensed. This is a major milestone in cognitive development and marks the end of Piaget's sensorimotor stage. This understanding suggests that the child has developed a scheme of the world that things can exist that cannot be seen. It also represents a level of memory. In order to understand that the object still exists and will return, the child would have to have memory for the object. This ability also suggests that infants have developed the ability to form mental representations of the world.
