D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is asking about a psychologist who studied and described gender differences in moral reasoning, specifically between boys and girls.
Recall that Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg are known for their stages of moral development but did not focus specifically on gender differences.
Recognize that Erik Erikson is known for psychosocial development stages, not moral reasoning differences by gender.
Identify Carol Gilligan as the psychologist who challenged Kohlberg's theory by emphasizing that girls and boys may approach morality differently, focusing on care and relationships versus justice.
Conclude that Carol Gilligan is the correct answer because she specifically studied and described these gender differences in moral perspectives.
