DAccommodation
Correct answer: (B) Assimilation — The answer is assimilation.
Explanation
★The answer is assimilation.
★In Piaget's theory, assimilation fits new experiences into an existing scheme.
★The child already has the scheme of using intimidation with the sibling.
★Using the same tactics on a peer applies that existing scheme to a new case.
