Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A, Pre conventional Morality.

Explanation:

Pre conventional morality is a process of moral development. Pre conventional morality is concerned with the distinction and divergence between right and wrong.

There are two stages of pre conventional morality. In the first stage, Obedience and punishment are there, whereas the second stage is about the Self Interest.

The first stage in which the children are concerned with the obedience and punishment, the children try to be obedient and behave in a way that they don't get punished. The children before the age of 5 years fall under this stage. The other stage starts from the year 5 and ranges up to 9 years of age.

So Henry is four years old and he disapproves of stealing jelly beans from his sister's easter basket because he thinks his mother will spank him if he does. It means henry is afraid of the punishment and he tries to be obedient, which means he is practicing the first stage of Pre conventional morality.
