D Correct answer
Explanation

Reversibility is the mental operation that allows a person to mentally reverse a series of steps or transformations. For example, understanding that if water is poured from a wide glass into a tall thin glass, pouring it back returns it to the original state. This is a key cognitive achievement in concrete operational thought.
