Solution

The social learning theory of moral development suggests that morality is developed by imitating adults' behavior and is shaped by reward and punishment. This theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of observing and modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. So, children learn how to behave and respond in certain situations by observing adults, especially their parents.

This theory also suggests that learning occurs through rewards and punishments. This is known as operant conditioning. For example, if a child is rewarded for a certain behavior, they are likely to repeat it. On the other hand, if they are punished, they are likely to avoid that behavior in the future.

The other options are not consistent with the social learning theory of moral development. The theory does not suggest that morality is not a skill that can be learned through social interactions, or that it is developed through children's careful cognitive reasoning about moral dilemmas. It also does not suggest that morality is an innate skill - that children naturally know right from wrong.

In the process of socialization, the ethical beliefs are internalized and provide the foundation for moral development. Moral concepts start developing in a child from an early age. The first stage of morality is based on consequences, that is, before the age of about seven, the child tends to view or categorize acts which yield positive outcomes as “good” and those which yield negative outcomes as “bad”. This pattern is called objective moral orientation. After the age of seven years, we focus our attention on the intentions behind various actions. This is called subjective moral orientation and generally it develops when a child is around ten years old
