D
Research indicates that an individual's moral reasoning is connected to moral behavior.

Explanation

A common criticism of Kohlberg’s theory is that its stages may reflect Western cultural values and may not apply equally across cultures. Research showing that moral development can differ across cultures challenges the universality of the theory. The other choices describe findings that generally support links Kohlberg proposed, such as cognition’s role in moral development and age-related progression.
