Answer:

a) Conventional stage

Explanation:

Kohlberg conducted research on morality and introduced a theory of moral development.

He identified three levels of moral reasoning (each consisting of two stages). These levels are:

• pre-conventional,

• conventional

• post-conventional

At the pre-conventional level, the individual's morality is primarily influenced by external factors, acting based on potential punishments (1st stage) or evaluating the benefits of their actions (2nd stage)

The conventional level is also related to external influences, but now the person considers maintaining positive relationships and social order. The third stage is focused on gaining others' approval, while the fourth stage involves adhering to rules that support societal order  and function.

The post-conventional levelis defined by adherence to more abstract values or principles. The 5th stage recognizes the world as a place of diverse values that deserve respect. Lastly, the 6th stage is based on universal ethical principles.

In Annaliese's case, she feels troubled that her friend is paying someone to write their term paper, but she values her friend's approval more, so she opts to remain silent about the cheating.

It can be concluded that Annaliese is driven by external influences (her friend's approval); hence, she cannot be classified under the Post-conventional level.

The third stage within the conventional level pertains to decision-making based on seeking others' approval.

Given that Annaliese seeks her friends' validation, we deduce that she exists at this stage, thus falling within the Conventional stage.
