Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The three barriers are the ability to focus on only one element or property at a time (perceptual centration), the inability to mentally reverse a sequence of events (irreversibility), and both the inability to take on the view of another person and the belief that the world revolves around oneself (egocentrism).
