✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The third and final level of Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development is the 'Post-Conventional Level'. It includes two stages: Stage 5 (Social Contract and Individual Rights) and Stage 6 (Universal Ethical Principles). In the sixth stage, an individual goes beyond social laws or agreements to act based on self-chosen ethical principles, conscience, and the universal concept of justice. Option B accurately and scientifically describes this psychological process, while other options describe characteristics of the pre-conventional or conventional levels.
