Statement I: According to Piaget, the most fundamental deficiency of pre-operational thinking is egocentrism.
Statement II: Egocentrism is the ability to distinguish others' symbolic viewpoints from one's own.
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
Piaget did identify egocentrism as the most fundamental limitation of pre-operational thought (Statement I is correct). However, egocentrism actually refers to the inability, not the ability, to distinguish others' viewpoints from one's own, so Statement II is incorrect. Option C is correct.
