Preconventional, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Lawrence Kohlberg carried forward the work of Jean Piaget on cognitive theory to describe the concept of moral development in children. He provided a three level division of moral development. Among these three Preconventional morality is the first method. According to this method the sense of morality in a child is controlled by others such as parents or teachers. In this stage, children consider and accept the precepts of others either due to the fear of punishment or for rewards.
