A Correct answer
Explanation

According to Piaget's theory of cognitive development, the sensorimotor stage (birth to 2 years) is characterized by learning through sensory experiences and motor actions. Infants learn by touching, seeing, hearing, tasting, and manipulating objects, not through language, abstract thinking, or comprehending words, which develop in later stages.
