B Incorrect: The preconceptual phase (2-4 years) is one phase of the preoperational stage and is characterized by increasing use of language, egocentric thought, symbolic play and mental imagery.
C Incorrect: The mental combinations phase (18-24 months) is the 6th phase of the sensorimotor stage. During this phase children are able to think before acting and use memory for simple trial and error problem solving.
D Incorrect: The tertiary circular reactions phase (12-18 months) is the 5th phase of the sensorimotor stage. It is characterized by interest in novelty, repetition, awareness that objects that are out of sight continue to exist, understanding causality, and soliciting help.
