Answer

B
Children commonly use internal standards to reason about behavior at an early age.
C
What is determined as right or wrong is universally defined and agreed upon.
D
Parental views on what is right and wrong greatly influence children's moral reasoning.

Explanation

Moral judgments are not universally defined or agreed upon; ideas about right and wrong can vary across cultures and situations. Therefore, the claim that they are universally defined is not true. Children’s ability to distinguish moral rules from conventions generally develops with age, and parents can strongly influence their moral reasoning.
