The correct answer is D. Kohlberg's moral development theory

Step-by-step explanation:

Kohlberg's theory focuses on the thinking process that occurs when one decides whether a behaviour is right or wrong

Lawrence Kohlberg expanded on the earlier work of cognitive theorist Jean Piaget to explain the moral development of children, which he believed follows a series of stages. Kohlberg defined three levels of moral development:

1. preconventional,

2.conventional, and

3. postconventional.

Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Kohlberg's moral development theory

Kohlberg is known for his study of from children of different ages,hoping to discover how moral reasoning changed as people grew older.

Kohlberg identified three distinct levels of moral reasoning: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Each level has two sub-stages

He observed that individuals can only pass through these levels . Each new stage replaces the reasoning typical of the earlier stage. The reasoning of the children taking turns to avoid anger of the others and the reasoning of the adolescents because because they want to play the game the way it's supposed to be played is two differrent types of reasoning according to Kohlberg.
