Piaget's stages of development are divided into how many periods?

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

The correct answer is: 4

Piaget's stages of development are divided into four periods, not just one or two. Option A is incorrect because only having one period would not accurately reflect the complexity of human development. Similarly, option B of only two periods is also incorrect because it oversimplifies the stages and would not accurately explain the various developmental milestones. Option C is incorrect because although there are three main stages (sensorimotor, preoperational, and concrete operational), the fourth stage of formal operational is also a crucial part of Piaget's theory. Therefore, the correct answer is D with four periods.
