According to Binet, mental age relates to chronological age because ___________.

Binet’s idea of mental age compares a person’s performance with the typical performance of children at different chronological ages. For example, if a child performs like the average 8-year-old, their mental age is about 8, regardless of their actual age. So mental age estimates the chronological age at which the person functions, making choice B correct.
