Answer 1

Answer:

d. accommodation

Explanation:

Piaget focused on two processes, assimilation and accommodation to study the nature of intelligence. Accommodation refers to the process in which new information is adopted by the individual in a different environment and is altered so that it can fit with the pre-existing knowledge. It helps in fixing the new information.
