b. "An individual's thoughts are influenced by moral decisions and behaviors."

c. "An individual expands his or her focus from a relationship with others to societal concerns."

Explanation:

At the Conventional Level, morality is defined by social rules both explicitly and implicitly agreed upon by society.

Within this level, stage three is named the morality of interpersonal cooperation. In it, moral choices are decided by contemplating how it could be judged by the group members.

Stage four is the social-order-maintaining orientation when morality is defined by its benefits for the majority.
