According to Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development, the sixth and final stage of the Post-Conventional Level is called the Universal Ethical Principle Orientation.
At this stage, an individual transcends external social rules or laws, making moral decisions based on broad, universal principles of justice, human rights, and human dignity chosen through their own conscience.
- If a legal rule violates human rights, an individual at this stage has the moral courage to oppose that law based on higher ethical conscience.
- Options A, B, and D describe lower stages of moral development (such as Conventional and Pre-conventional levels).
Therefore, Option (c) is the most authentic and scientifically valid explanation of this concept.
