✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the fourth stage of the Conventional Level is called 'Law and Order Orientation'. At this stage, an individual's moral reasoning is focused on maintaining society's rules, laws, and order. The child or individual understands that if everyone breaks rules, social order will collapse, so fulfilling social duties is mandatory.
