The difference between the judgments made at preconventional and postconventional levels is that the former are based on self-interest and avoiding punishment, while the latter are based on moral principles and social contracts. However, this difference is not related to whether the judgments are based on consequences or personal standards, as both levels may take those factors into account. The difference between preconventional and postconventional reasoning is mainly a developmental one, with the former being typical of young children and the latter of older children, adolescents, and adults. Therefore, option B correctly states that postconventional judgments are found in adolescents and adults, while options A, C, and D are incorrect or incomplete.
