Detailed Explanation
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development, the Social Contract and Individual Rights Orientation (Stage 5) falls under the Post-Conventional Level.
At this stage:
- Individuals view laws and rules as flexible social contracts rather than rigid, absolute edicts.
- The focus is on mutual benefit, reciprocity, and the maintenance of human rights.
- If a law does not serve the greatest good for the majority or violates fundamental human rights, it is viewed as unjust and subject to modification through democratic processes.
Option B is scientifically correct as it accurately captures the essence of this cognitive-moral stage, fostering critical thinking, democratic values, and logical moral reasoning in students.
