Compare the options given: 'Seeking approval from others' aligns with stage 3, 'Acting to avoid punishment' aligns with stage 1, and 'Following universal ethical principles' aligns with stage 6.
Conclude that the correct description of the fourth stage is 'Obeying laws and maintaining social order', as it reflects the focus on societal rules and authority.
