The best answer to the question: Dora's preoccupation with manipulating the building blocks in different ways reflects a function of the sensorimotor substage of: tertiary circular reactions.

Explanation:

According to Piaget's stages of development, the sensorimotor stage, which is the initial developmental stage after birth, is the time, from 0 to 2 years of age, in which the baby experiments the world through his actions and through his senses. This sensorimotor stage is further divided into 6 substages, that go from 0 to the 2 years that the entire stage lasts. In the case of Dora, given the fact that she is already not just destroying whatever is built with the blocks, but she builds new things herself from the blocks, and furthermore, she herself is creating things with the blocks, she is showing the signs of the stage of tertiary circular reactions.
