During this stage, children begin to produce two-word phrases that contain essential content words, resembling the concise style of a telegram, hence the term "telegraphic." This stage signifies a significant advancement in language development as children move beyond one-word utterances to more complex sentence structures. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
