thanks Ms.Sue

You're welcome, Daniela.

Your answer is correct. In Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the preconventional level is the first stage of moral reasoning. In this stage, individuals tend to make moral decisions based on self-interest and the consequences of their actions. They are primarily motivated by avoiding punishment and gaining rewards. This stage is typically observed in young children and some individuals with limited cognitive development. Therefore, your answer of "b. preconventional" is accurate.
