The correct answer is C. to decrease Tom's aggressive behavior.
Given that Tom is suffering from antisocial personality disorder, he might be very aggressive and violent towards others, and he might pose a danger to those around him. Due to this disorder, he cannot understand that the things he's doing are wrong. The psychiatrist will prescribe him barbiturates because they can sedate him and mitigate his reactions.

- preoperational: 24 months - age 7
- concrete operational: 7 - 14
- formal operational: adolescence - adulthood
Only when we reach the final stage of development can we put ourselves in somebody else's shoes and see things from their perspective, according to Piaget.
