Kohlberg's six stages of moral reasoning are categorized into three broader levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. The stages in their correct developmental sequence, from youngest to oldest are:
1) Punishment-obedience (pre-conventional)
2) Naive hedonism (pre-conventional)
3) Social contract (conventional)
4) Universal ethical principles (post-conventional)
5) Social contract and individual rights (post-conventional)
6) Universal ethical principles and the conscience (post-conventional)

The correct sequence is punishment-obedience, naive hedonism, and social contract, so the best choice is D, where these stages are listed in the correct order.
