Answer:

Out of the four options for the given question, the correct option is

Relativism

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be explained as a Scientific norm is universally valid irrespective of the socio-political impacts.

According to Merton the four scientific norm are 'CUDOS' which stands for Communism, Universalism, Disinterestedness and Organized Skepticism.

Communism corresponds to originality in the options.

Therefore, Relativism is not a scientific norm as it varies from culture to culture and is not universally constant.
