Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's theory of moral reasoning identifies three levels of moral development (preconventional, conventional, and postconventional), and within these levels, there are six stages. Not everyone reaches the postconventional level, which is considered the highest level of moral reasoning, making option D correct. The theory does not suggest that there are four distinct levels, that people progress through the levels in different orders, or that the conventional level is the highest level of moral reasoning.
