    Correct Answer
    A. 1-6
    Explanation
    The iconic representation age group is 1-6 because this is the period when children start to develop their cognitive and language skills. During this time, they begin to understand and use symbols, such as pictures and icons, to represent objects and ideas. This age group is also when children start to engage in imaginative play and can easily recognize and interpret visual symbols. Therefore, 1-6 is the age range where iconic representation is most relevant and effective for children's learning and communication.
