Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": "I'll let you play with my toy if I play with yours."

Explanation:

Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) conducted a study in 1932 focused on children's moral reasoning. According to Piaget, children have an understanding of three (3) main aspects of moral issues: rules, moral responsibility, and justice.  

After the research, Piaget concluded there are two types of moral thinking: Heteronomous Morality (from 5 to 9 years) and Autonomous Morality (from 9 to 10 years). In Autonomous Morality children set their own rules, without the need for a superior figure regulating their actions, where the child is unlikely to accept what is told by others.

Thus, by negotiating an exchange of toys, children are displaying the Autonomous Morality concept stated by Piaget.
