Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is C. Posing hypothetical moral dilemmas to individuals.

Lawrence Kohlberg developed a theory of moral development by conducting research studies at Harvard's Center for moral education. He believed that individuals show progress in their moral reasoning through a series of six stages that are broadly divided into three levels (preconventional, conventional, and post conventional morality).

By posing hypothetical moral dilemmas ( like situation of man who stole medicines for his sick wife) to individuals, he determined which stage of moral development the subject belonged to.

Thus, C) is the right answer.
