A. They center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame.

Explanation:

The Concrete Operational Stage, according to Piaget, refers to a stage that begins around age 7 and ends around the ages of 11 or 13.

During this stage, children are now capable of thinking in a more logical manner and their moral judgement has become subjective as they now center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame. For instance, they are able to judge another child according to the amount of damage she/he has done and whether it was done in purpose or accidentally.

They can also center on two dimensions of a problem at once and have thoughts that involve tangible objects instead of abstract ideas.
