Rationale: The correct answer is C: '5, the social contract orientation.' At Kohlberg's Stage 5, individuals begin to question their own social order and focus on principles of justice and fairness. This stage emphasizes the importance of social contracts and agreements based on mutual benefit.
Choice A is incorrect as the 'good boy/good girl' orientation is characteristic of Stage 3.
Choice B, the social-order-maintaining orientation, does not align with the description provided in the question.
Choice D, the universal ethical principle orientation, is associated with Stage 6, where individuals act based on self-chosen ethical principles.

Rationale: In cognitive-developmental theory, a scheme is an organized way of making sense of experience. This term refers to mental structures or frameworks that help individuals interpret and understand the world around them.
Choice A is incorrect because schemes are developed through interaction with the environment.
Choice B refers to object permanence, a concept from Piaget's theory of cognitive development, not schemes.
