This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Wong (Hockenberry et al, 2007) describes learning right from wrong as being based on developmental stages. At what developmental stage is a human first able to integrate values of significant others into his or her behavioral system?

A. Infant

B. Toddler

C. School-age child

D. Adolescent

Answer:

The correct option is letter B. toddler.

Explanation:

We can reach the conclusion that letter B is the correct option through elimination. Letter A is incorrect because, even though moral development does start during infancy, infants still don't understand the concept of right or wrong. Letter C is wrong because school-age children have already integrated values. They are beginning to develop a conscience already. Letter D is incorrect because adolescents question the values they learned previously in life. The right answer is B, since toddlers begin to develop a sort of moral code by integrating values of significant others into their behavioral system.
