Detailed Explanation
Explanation
Under the Post-Conventional Level of Lawrence Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development, the sixth and final stage—Universal Ethical Principle Orientation—involves individuals rising above external social rules, laws, or authorities, guided instead by their own conscience and universal principles of justice, human rights, and equality.
- Autonomous Morality: Decisions are based on self-chosen ethical principles that are comprehensive and universal.
- Supremacy of Conscience: Principles take precedence over written laws if the laws violate fundamental human dignity and justice.
- Classroom Implication: Fosters high-level moral reasoning and value-based decision-making in students rather than mere compliance.
Therefore, Option B is scientifically accurate.
