The level of conventional moral development of Kohlberg, which would be his II level, comes to say that the right thing to do is to live according to what people close to oneself expect. This means accepting the role of a good son, friend, brother, etc.

The answer is: C) The sense of good and evil of an individual is based on the expectations of others.
