During which of the following stages of lifespan development does moral reasoning take place?

  1. Conception

  2. Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt

  3. Early Adulthood

  4. Industry versus Inferiority

The correct answer is: Autonomy versus Shame and Doubt

Moral reasoning is the ability to think abstractly and draw conclusions about what is right and wrong. This typically develops during the stage of autonomy versus shame and doubt, as children begin to understand and internalize social and moral norms. Conception is the initial stage of development and is focused on physical growth. Early adulthood is focused on establishing independence and identity, while Industry versus Inferiority pertains to a sense of competence and productivity which does not directly involve moral reasoning. Hence, the correct answer is option B.
