D1, 2, 4 & 5 only
Correct answer: (B) 1, 3, 4 & 5 only
Explanation
Kohlberg's stages include obedience orientation, reward or exchange orientation, law and order orientation and social contract orientation, so 1, 3, 4 and 5 fit.
Intellectual disability orientation is not a Kohlberg stage.
Obedience orientation avoids punishment at the pre-conventional level.
Law and order orientation upholds rules at the conventional level.
Social contract orientation weighs mutual agreements at the post-conventional level.
Kohlberg proposed six stages across three levels, building on Piaget's moral reasoning.
