The correct answer is Dualism.

William G.Perry considered Dualism one of the four stages of mental and moral development. The other are multiplicity, relativism and commitment. Dualism is the belief that one is going to learn what is going to be taught, without questioning, because there is a correct answer to be learned. Always relying on absolutes and authority.
