The correct answer is

Concrete operational stage

Piaget divided cognitive development into four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.

The concrete operational stage typically spans ages seven to eleven, during which children develop logical thinking about concrete, tangible objects and events.

At this stage, children can perform operations such as conservation, classification, and seriation, though they still struggle with purely abstract or hypothetical reasoning, which develops later.

Therefore, children aged seven to eleven years are typically in the concrete operational stage.
