Answer 2

Jennifer falls under D. Objective morality

Step-by-step explanation:

Piaget wanted to understand how children think, understand their morality. Objective morality is understood as the belief that morality is universal, that it cannot be interpreted. It is understood as general and existing in nature.

In this case, Jennifer believes her lying was the cause of her injury, which was her punishment. Her way of thinking is that morality exists in nature and that it happens. It was not her parents' punishment but a general one.
