children under age 7 are not susceptible to group pressure because they...
are in the stage of concrete operational thought
have limited understanding of the relationship between objects, events, and people
have little opportunity for social interaction
cannot share

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because the concrete operational stage (Piaget's theory) typically starts around age 7 - 11, so children under 7 are in the pre - operational stage, not concrete operational.
• The second option is correct. Children under 7 (in the pre - operational stage) have a limited understanding of relationships between objects, events, and people. This limited understanding means they don't fully grasp group dynamics or group pressure in the way older children or adults do.
• The third option is incorrect. Most children under 7 do have opportunities for social interaction, such as in preschools, with siblings, or in playgroups.
• The fourth option is incorrect. Children under 7 are capable of sharing, although their sharing behavior might be different from that of older children (e.g., more egocentric at times, but still able to share in simple ways).

Answer:

B. have limited understanding of the relationship between objects, events, and people
