According to Gilligan's theory of moral development, girls begin at a stage of self-interest, which is characterized by a focus on their own needs and desires without considering the impact on others. As they develop morally, they move toward a stage of balanced concern for self and others, where they consider both their own needs and the needs of others in their decision-making. Therefore, the correct answer is B: self-interest; balanced concern for self and others.
