When Nithin saw the people crossing the road as the green light turned on and then followed them, which stage of thinking was used by Nithin?
Symbolic
In Bruner's modes of representation, the Symbolic stage involves representing the world through symbols such as language, signs, and abstract rules rather than direct action or images. Nithin did not directly act on the environment — he interpreted the green light as a symbolic signal (a socially agreed-upon rule) that it was safe to cross, and then acted on that symbolic understanding. Hence, the correct answer is Symbolic.
