✓ Correct! Well done.

Detailed Explanation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage is called 'Universal Ethical Principle Orientation'.

- If laws conflict with justice or human values, individuals at this stage prioritize higher ethical principles of justice.
Therefore, option B accurately captures the essence of Stage 6.
