Answer 1

Conventional level of moral reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Kohlberg, Danny is at the conventional level of moral reasoning. According to Lawrence Kohlberg, there are three different levels of moral reasoning: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Each level presents two sub-stages. These levels are achieved in the order listed below, but not everybody reaches the last stage. At the conventional level, the moral standards of adult role models are internalized, and authority is obeyed but not questioned.
