A) the reason underlying a moral decision is more important than the action taken.

Explanation:

To Lawrence Kohlberg, morality should not be understood based on conceptions such as good and evil. Kohlberg attempted to go beyond these terms. It didn't matter to him what was good or bad, it mattered how we achieved this idea of good or evil. Through a variety of interviews and studies, he observed that the construction of morals increases as children grow up.
