Focusing on a single feature and judging by it alone, ignoring the rest, is called centration.

Logical thinking (A) reasons across multiple factors, the opposite tendency.

De-centering (B) is the later ability to consider several features at once.

None of the above (D) is wrong, since centration names this exactly.

Centration is a hallmark of Piaget's preoperational stage, about 2 to 7 years.

Overcoming centration enables conservation, achieved in the concrete operational stage.
