Cognitive development is usually marked by the emergence of:

Speech
Peer interactions
Reasoning
Language

The correct answer is: Reasoning

Cognitive development is typically characterized by the emergence of children's ability to reason. While speech is an important aspect of cognitive development, it usually begins to develop earlier in infancy. Similarly, peer interactions can also contribute to cognitive growth, but they are not the defining feature of this stage. Additionally, language is closely linked to reasoning abilities, so it is not necessarily incorrect, but reasoning is a more specific and essential aspect of cognitive development.
