Chance steals food to feed himself and his little brother because they are starving. If another child hears about this and states, "Chance shouldn't steal because stealing is against the law," that child is MOST likely in Lawrence Kohlberg's stage of moral development.

Preconventional stage of moral development.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, the child that states "Chance shouldn't steal because stealing is against the law," would be most likely in the preconventional stage of moral development as he has a sense of morality that is controlled externally. This means he accepts and believes the rules of other figures, be it the law, parents, teachers, etc. So, when he sees something that goes out of the rules (stealing) he automatically thinks that it's wrong. If he were, for example, in the postconventional stage, he might think that it's wrong to steal but would understand that Chance does so to feed his little brother and himself.

the first option is correct
