Answer:

A person that thinks that George should go to jail for stealing food to give it to his little brother so that he has something to eat when their family can't buy any, is in a conventional development stage. The correct answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conventional stage of moral reasoning is very common in adolescents and adults because they judge the morality of actions according to society standards and expectations. In this case, a person who thinks George should go to jail for stealing food for his brother, is not taking in consideration the situation in which the hole family is in, he is just seeing the result of stealing, and for him, a person who steals should go to prison. He is judging the consequence and not the reason.
