The correct answer is self-recognition.

Self-recognition is defined as the awareness or knowledge about oneself, one's feelings, behavior and physical appearance. Toddlers develop self-recognition around 12-18 months of age. In the early stages of developing self-recognition, toddlers are able to recognize themselves in mirrors or photographs. In this instance, Isabella is developing self-recognition because she recognizes that the person in the mirror is her itself and that there is something odd and unusual about her appearance (the red dot on her nose).
