Explanation:

In Piaget's theory, accommodation occurs when a person changes their existing cognitive schema or mental model to incorporate new information. Ella had to change her idea about what a bird could do when she learned about the parrot's ability to speak words, which is an example of accommodation. A schema is a mental framework, stages refer to Piaget's developmental stages, and assimilation is incorporating new info into existing schemas without changing them.

D. accommodation
