Explanation:

The discontinuous view of development posits that development occurs in distinct stages. Dr. Stonington's belief about children's cognitive abilities developing in clear, distinct stages aligns with this view. The continuous view sees development as a smooth, gradual process without distinct stages. The epigenetic view focuses on gene - environment interactions. The nurture view emphasizes environmental influences. Since Dr. Stonington emphasizes distinct stages, the discontinuous view is the best fit.

B. The discontinuous view of development
