Which description best aligns with Kohlberg's Conventional level?

• A. Interpersonal Relationships
• B. Good Girl/Boy (Please Society)
• C. Authority and Social Cues (Respect Authority)
• D. Self Accepted Moral Principles Guide Behavior

Answer: (C)

The Conventional level centers on conforming to social rules and authority to keep social order. The description emphasizing respect for authority and following social cues best captures this focus, since it highlights upholding laws, norms, and the role of authorities in guiding behavior. Within this level, one stage centers on maintaining social order and authority, which aligns with the chosen description. Descriptions about pleasing others reflect seeking approval (a related idea but more about interpersonal approval), while describing self-chosen moral principles signals reasoning at the Postconventional level, where abstract principles take precedence over simple rule-following.
