The options that violates the principles of Piaget's theory are

if a gifted child skipped the concrete operational stage and went directly to the formal operational stage if a child went through a revolutionary change of thought at 2 years of age

Explanation:

According to Piaget, all four stages must be successfully completed in order to attain full human intelligence. None of the stages can be skipped and the term "gifted" itself would violate Piaget's idea that intelligence must be gained over time due to biological maturation and interaction with the surroundings. All children will learn and develop as the stages pass. Also, a child who is just two years old would have learned to understand and control only his sensorimotor functions. The thought process of a two year old child isn't developed enough to undergo a drastic revolution.
