Answer

d. understands object permanence

Explain

According to Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched. Derek searching for the ball under the couch indicates he understands that the ball still exists even though it is out of sight.
