Letter B is the correct answer.

Preschoolers are more likely than older kids to claim that lying (and stealing) is wrong at all circumstances. They do so because they experience a sense of self-conscious emotions and empathy which gives them a stronger sense of morality but are not able to distinguish moral imperatives from social conventions.
