Answer:

The answer is a. accommodation.

Explanation:

This term, coined by Jean Piaget, refers to adding new information to the cognitive structure by changing previous knowledge.

In the example, Annabelle dicovered that objects can bounce and stay for a certain time in the air, not just fall. Thus she had to modify her previous conception of simple gravity.
