    D Natural law theory Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Explanation: Relativism is an ethical theory that asserts that the rightness or wrongness of actions is context-dependent and varies based on cultural norms and societal values. In other words, what is considered morally acceptable in one culture or society may not be the same in another. Relativism challenges the idea of universal moral principles and suggests that morality is relative to individual cultures and perspectives. This makes ethical judgments contingent on the cultural and social context in which they occur.
