Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Kiley's behavior demonstrates the core knowledge approach, which suggests that infants have an innate understanding of certain fundamental principles, including object permanence—the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are out of sight. This is why Kiley looks longer, expecting Minnie Mouse to reappear.
