None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Obedience and Punishment Orientation – at this stage of moral reasoning, the individual acts from a belief that if they do something wrong they will be punished, so that the best reason for avoiding doing wrong is to avoid punishment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 1: Punishment/obedience orientation Behaviour is determined by consequences. The individual will obey in order to avoid punishment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 1: Obedience and Punishment Orientation The first stage highlights the self-interest of children in their decision making as they seek to avoid punishment at all costs. In relation to our example above, the man should not steal the medication from the pharmacy as he may go to jail if he is caught.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kohlberg calls stage 1 thinking “preconventional” because children do not yet speak as members of society. Instead, they see morality as something external to themselves, as that which the big people say they must do. What is right for Heinz, then, is what meets his own self-interests.

Detailed explanation-5: -PUNISHMENT AND OBEDIENCE ORIENTATION: “When a child does an action, not because of their conscious decision about it, but simply to avoid punishment for not doing it, that is an example of punishment and obedience orientation."
